tftp |
Stands for trivial file-transfer protocol, which copies files between the client and a host running the TFTP service.
tftp [-i] hostname [get put] source [ destination ]
Switches to binary (octet) mode for bytewise transfers of binary files. (Otherwise, the default ASCII mode is used.)
Indicates the destination host running the TFTP service.
Downloads or uploads the file as specified.
Specifies the local file you want to transfer. If you use a hyphen, the destination file is printed out on STDOUT (when getting) or is read from STDIN when putting ).
Renames the file after transferring it (destination is optional).
Transfer the file C:\pub\smiley.gif from the local machine to the remote Unix host called BONGO :
tftp -i bongo put C:\pub\smiley.gif Transfer successful: 386 bytes in 1 second, 386 bytes/s.
TFTP doesn't support user authentication, so the user transferring the file must be logged on and must have permission to write to the remote directory. TFTP also uses UDP to transfer files and is therefore not guaranteed as reliable. Use FTP instead for a more reliable method that supports basic authentication.
