! 39: .Sh NAME
! 40: .Nm tftp
! 41: .Nd trivial file transfer program
! 42: .Sh SYNOPSIS
! 43: .Nm tftp
! 44: .Op Ar host
! 45: .Sh DESCRIPTION
! 46: .Nm Tftp
! 47: is the user interface to the Internet
! 48: .Tn TFTP
! 49: (Trivial File Transfer Protocol),
! 50: which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine.
! 51: The remote
! 52: .Ar host
! 53: may be specified on the command line, in which case
! 54: .Nm tftp
! 55: uses
! 56: .Ar host
! 57: as the default host for future transfers (see the
! 58: .Cm connect
! 59: command below).
! 60: .Sh COMMANDS
! 61: Once
! 62: .Nm tftp
! 63: is running, it issues the prompt
! 64: .Ql tftp>
! 65: and recognizes the following commands:
! 66: .Pp
! 67: .Bl -tag -width verbose -compact
! 68: .It Cm \&? Ar command-name ...
! 69: Print help information.
! 70: .Pp
! 71: .It Cm ascii
! 72: Shorthand for "mode ascii"
! 73: .Pp
! 74: .It Cm binary
! 75: Shorthand for "mode binary"
! 76: .Pp
! 77: .It Cm connect Ar host-name Op Ar port
! 78: Set the
! 79: .Ar host
! 80: (and optionally
! 81: .Ar port )
! 82: for transfers.
! 83: Note that the
! 84: .Tn TFTP
! 85: protocol, unlike the
! 86: .Tn FTP
! 87: protocol,
! 88: does not maintain connections between transfers; thus, the
! 89: .Cm connect
! 90: command does not actually create a connection,
! 91: but merely remembers what host is to be used for transfers.
! 92: You do not have to use the
! 93: .Cm connect
! 94: command; the remote host can be specified as part of the
! 95: .Cm get
! 96: or
! 97: .Cm put
! 98: commands.
! 99: .Pp
! 100: .It Cm get Ar filename
! 101: .It Cm get Ar remotename localname
! 102: .It Cm get Ar file1 file2 ... fileN
! 103: Get a file or set of files from the specified
! 104: .Ar sources .
! 105: .Ar Source
! 106: can be in one of two forms:
! 107: a filename on the remote host, if the host has already been specified,
! 108: or a string of the form
! 109: .Ar hosts:filename
! 110: to specify both a host and filename at the same time.
! 111: If the latter form is used,
! 112: the last hostname specified becomes the default for future transfers.
! 113: .Pp
! 114: .It Cm mode Ar transfer-mode
! 115: Set the mode for transfers;
! 116: .Ar transfer-mode
! 117: may be one of
! 118: .Em ascii
! 119: or
! 120: .Em binary .
! 121: The default is
! 122: .Em ascii .
! 123: .Pp
! 124: .It Cm put Ar file
! 125: .It Cm put Ar localfile remotefile
! 126: .It Cm put Ar file1 file2 ... fileN remote-directory
! 127: Put a file or set of files to the specified
! 128: remote file or directory.
! 129: The destination
! 130: can be in one of two forms:
! 131: a filename on the remote host, if the host has already been specified,
! 132: or a string of the form
! 133: .Ar hosts:filename
! 134: to specify both a host and filename at the same time.
! 135: If the latter form is used,
! 136: the hostname specified becomes the default for future transfers.
! 137: If the remote-directory form is used, the remote host is
! 138: assumed to be a
! 139: .Tn UNIX
! 140: machine.
! 141: .Pp
! 142: .It Cm quit
! 143: Exit
! 144: .Nm tftp .
! 145: An end of file also exits.
! 146: .Pp
! 147: .It Cm rexmt Ar retransmission-timeout
! 148: Set the per-packet retransmission timeout, in seconds.
! 149: .Pp
! 150: .It Cm status
! 151: Show current status.
! 152: .Pp
! 153: .It Cm timeout Ar total-transmission-timeout
! 154: Set the total transmission timeout, in seconds.
! 155: .Pp
! 156: .It Cm trace
! 157: Toggle packet tracing.
! 158: .Pp
! 159: .It Cm verbose
! 160: Toggle verbose mode.
! 161: .El
! 162: .Sh BUGS
! 163: .Pp
! 164: Because there is no user-login or validation within
! 165: the
! 166: .Tn TFTP
! 167: protocol, the remote site will probably have some
! 168: sort of file-access restrictions in place. The
! 169: exact methods are specific to each site and therefore
! 170: difficult to document here.
! 171: .Sh HISTORY
! 172: The
! 173: .Nm
! 174: command appeared in
! 175: .Bx 4.3 .
