- _T_f_t_p 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 _h_o_s_t may be
- specified on the command line, in which case _t_f_t_p uses _h_o_s_t
- as the default host for future transfers (see the ccoonnnneecctt
- command below).
-
- CCOOMMMMAANNDDSS
- Once _t_f_t_p is running, it issues the prompt ttffttpp>> and recog-
- nizes the following commands:
-
- ccoonnnneecctt _h_o_s_t-_n_a_m_e [ _p_o_r_t ]
- Set the _h_o_s_t (and optionally _p_o_r_t) for transfers. Note
- that the TFTP protocol, unlike the FTP protocol, does
- not maintain connections betweeen transfers; thus, the
- _c_o_n_n_e_c_t 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 _c_o_n_n_e_c_t command;
- the remote host can be specified as part of the _g_e_t or
- _p_u_t commands.
-
- mmooddee _t_r_a_n_s_f_e_r-_m_o_d_e
- Set the mode for transfers; _t_r_a_n_s_f_e_r-_m_o_d_e may be one of
- _a_s_c_i_i or _b_i_n_a_r_y. The default is _a_s_c_i_i.

- 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
- _h_o_s_t:_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e to specify both a host and filename at
- the same time. If the latter form is used, the host-
- name specified becomes the default for future
- transfers. If the remote-directory form is used, the
- remote host is assumed to be a _U_N_I_X machine.

- Because there is no user-login or validation within the _T_F_T_P
- 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.
