utftp(1)utftp(1)NAMEutftp - a simple TFTP client
SYNOPSISutftp [options] SERVER[:PORT] remote-file-name [local-file-name]
DESCRIPTIONutftp sends and receives files with the TFTP protocol.
The default is to receive files. To change that use the --put option,
or rename the program so that it's name contains the three characters
put (or create a link: ln utftp utftp-put).
OPTIONS-b SIZE, --blocksize SIZE
try to use blocks of SIZE size instead of 512. Size may be
between 512 and 65464, but i don't believe something larger then
32768 will work (aside from that it wouldn't be that useful).
Depending on you system you may not be able do get anything
transfered with blocksizes as low a 4096.
Common UNIX tftp servers ignore all options. In that case 512
will be used, regardless of your wishes.
Note: this client is not intended for real use now. It logs all
errors through syslogd, and it's interface is rather ugly. But
you might find it useful anyway: it knows about the blocksize
option.
-g, --get
get a file from the server.
-n, --netascii
Use netascii conversion (this doesn't hurt, except for perfor‐
mance, and is not really useful).
-p, --put
put a file on the server.
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout TIMEOUT
use a timeout (for retries) of TIMEOUT seconds instead of 5.
TIMEOUT must be between 1 and 255 inclusively.
utftp will send an timeout option to the server (to make it use
the same timeout value), but common UNIX tftp servers ignore all
options, in which case the server will still use a timeout of 5
seconds (usually).
In case i screwed something up: short options use the same arguments as
the long ones
EXITCODESutftp will exit using one of the following exit codes:
0 OK, action completed as requested.
1 local error (out of memory, can't create/read file, and so on)
2 usage error.
3 timed out.
4 communication problem (TFTP protocol error).
5 network problem.
6 received some kind of error (like access denied).
7 undefined.
