+.Sh NAME
+.Nm tftp
+.Nd trivial file transfer program
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm tftp
+.Op Ar host
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Tftp
+is the user interface to the Internet
+.Tn TFTP
+(Trivial File Transfer Protocol),
+which allows users to transfer files to and from a remote machine.
+The remote
+.Ar host
+may be specified on the command line, in which case
+.Nm tftp
+uses
+.Ar host
+as the default host for future transfers (see the
+.Cm connect
+command below).
+.Sh COMMANDS
+Once
+.Nm tftp
+is running, it issues the prompt
+.LI tftp>
+and recognizes the following commands:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width verbose -compact
+.It Cm \&? Ar command-name ...
+Print help information.
+.Pp
+.It Cm ascii
+Shorthand for "mode ascii"
+.Pp
+.It Cm binary
+Shorthand for "mode binary"
+.Pp
+.It Cm connect Ar host-name Op Ar port
+Set the
+.Ar host
+(and optionally
+.Ar port )
+for transfers.
+Note that the
+.Tn TFTP
+protocol, unlike the
+.Tn FTP
+protocol,
+does not maintain connections between transfers; thus, the
+.Cm 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
+.Cm connect
+command; the remote host can be specified as part of the
+.Cm get
+or
+.Cm put
+commands.
+.Pp
+.It Cm get Ar filename
+.It Cm get Ar remotename localname
+.It Cm get Ar file1 file2 ... fileN
+Get a file or set of files from the specified
+.Ar sources .
+.Ar 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
+.Ar hosts: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.
+.Pp
+.It Cm mode Ar transfer-mode
+Set the mode for transfers;
+.Ar transfer-mode
+may be one of
+.Em ascii
+or
+.Em binary .
+The default is
+.Em ascii .
+.Pp
+.It Cm put Ar file
+.It Cm put Ar localfile remotefile
+.It Cm put Ar 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
+.Ar hosts: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
+.Tn UNIX
+machine.
+.Pp
+.It Cm quit
+Exit
+.Nm tftp .
+An end of file also exits.
+.Pp
+.It Cm rexmt Ar retransmission-timeout
+Set the per-packet retransmission timeout, in seconds.
+.Pp
+.It Cm status
+Show current status.
+.Pp
+.It Cm timeout Ar total-transmission-timeout
+Set the total transmission timeout, in seconds.
+.Pp
+.It Cm trace
+Toggle packet tracing.
+.Pp
+.It Cm verbose
+Toggle verbose mode.
+.El
+.Sh BUGS
+.Pp
+Because there is no user-login or validation within
+the
+.Tn 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.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 4.3 .
