## NAME

atftp - TFTP client (RFC1350).

## SYNOPSIS

atftp [options] [host [port]]

## DESCRIPTION

atftp can be used interactively or in batch mode to retrieve files from TFTP servers. When used interactively, a summary of the commands can be printed by typing 'help'. This TFTP client support all basic features from RFC 1350, RFC 2347, RFC 2348 and RFC 2349. It also support multicast implementation of RFC 2090 and mtftp as defined in the PXE specification.

## OPTIONS

This program supports both the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes ('--') as well as short options. Some options are usable in batch mode only, they have no meaning when atftp is use interactively. A description of the options is shown below.

-g, --get Non interactive invocation only. Instruct atftp to fetch a file from a tftp server.

--mget Non interactive invocation only. Used to fetch a file from a mtftp capable server.

-p, --put Non interactive invocation only. Instruct atftp to send a file to a tftp server.

-P, --password Give password to tftp server. This is a non-standard extension to the atftp client necessary for Linksys routers and shouldn't be used elsewhere.

-r, --remote-file Non interactive invocation only. The server side (remote) file name to get or put. Must be used in conjunction with --get or --put.
