.TH TFTP 1C "3 July 1985"
.SH NAME
tftp \- trivial file transfer program
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tftp
[
host
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I 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
.I host
may be specified on the command line, in which case
.I tftp
immediately establishes a connection to the TFTP server on that host.
Otherwise,
.I tftp
awaits connect instructions from the user.
.PP
An account or password on the remote machine is not required.
Due to lack of authentication information,
.I tftp
is only able to access publicly readable files.
Search permissions of directories
leading to accessed files are not checked.
.SH COMMANDS
Once
.I tftp
is running, it issues the prompt
.B tftp>
and recognizes the following commands:
.TP
\fBconnect\fP \fIhost-name\fP [ \fIport\fP ]
Set the
.I host
(and optionally
.IR port )
for transfers.
Note that the TFTP protocol, unlike the FTP protocol,
does not maintain connections betweeen transfers; thus, the
.I connect
command does not actually create a connection,
but merely remembers what host is to be used for transfers.
You do not have to use the 
.I connect
command; the remote host can be specified as part of the
.I get
or
.I put
commands.
.TP
\fBmode\fP \fItransfer-mode\fP
Set the mode for transfers; 
.I transfer-mode
may be one of
.IR ascii ,
.IR binary ,
or
.IR mail .
The default is
.IR ascii .
.TP
\fBput\fP \fIfile ... destination\fP
Put a file or set of files to the specified
.IR destination .
.I Destination
can be in one of two forms:
a filename on the remote host, if the host has already been specified,
or a string of the form
.I host:filename
to specify both a host and filename at the same time.
If the latter form is used,
the hostname specified becomes the default for future transfers.
.TP
\fBget\fP \fIsource ... file\fP
Get a file or set of files from the specified
.IR sources .
.I Source
can be in one of two forms:
a filename on the remote host, if the host has already been specified,
or a string of the form
.I host:filename
to specify both a host and filename at the same time.
If the latter form is used,
the last hostname specified becomes the default for future transfers.
