tftp is the user interface to the Internet TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine. The remote
host (and optional
port) may be specified on the command line, in which case
tftp uses
host (and
port) as the default for future transfers (see the
connect command below).
The optional
-e argument sets a binary transfer mode as well as setting the extended options as if
tout,
tsize, and
blksize 65464, had been given.
The Multicast TFTP option is supported in open-loop (i.e., "slave-only") mode based on IETF draft-dion-tftp-multicast-option-01.txt (May 2002), which in turn was based on RFC2026.
