NAME
       tftp - trivial file transfer program

SYNOPSIS
       tftp [ host ]

DESCRIPTION
       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  may  be specified on the command line, in
       which case tftp uses host as the default host for future transfers (see
       the connect command below).

COMMANDS
       Once  tftp  is  running,	 it issues the prompt tftp> and recognizes the
       following commands:

       connect host-name [ port ]
	      Set the host (and optionally port) for transfers.	 Note that the
	      TFTP  protocol,  unlike  the  FTP	 protocol,  does  not maintain
	      connections between transfers; thus, the	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 connect
	      command;	the remote host can be specified as part of the get or
	      put commands.

       mode transfer-mode
	      Set the mode for transfers; transfer-mode may be one of ascii or
	      binary.  The default is ascii.

       put file
       put localfile remotefile
       put file1 file2 ... fileN remote-directory
	      Put  a  file  or	set  of	 files to the specified remote file or
	      directory.  The 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 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.   If  the  remote-directory  form is used, the remote
	      host is assumed to be a UNIX machine.

       get filename
       get remotename localname
       get file1 file2 ... fileN
	      Get a file or set of files from the specified  sources.	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
	      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.

       quit   Exit tftp.  An end of file also exits.

       verbose
	      Toggle verbose mode.

       trace  Toggle packet tracing.

       status Show current status.

       rexmt retransmission-timeout
	      Set the per-packet retransmission timeout, in seconds.

       timeout total-transmission-timeout
	      Set the total transmission timeout, in seconds.

       ascii  Shorthand for "mode ascii"

       binary Shorthand for "mode binary"

       ?  [ command-name ... ]
	      Print help information.

BUGS
       Because	there is no user-login or validation within the TFTP protocol,
       the  remote  site  will	probably  have	some   sort   of   file-access
       restrictions in place.  The exact methods are specific to each site and
       therefore difficult to document here.
