.TH TFTP 1 "Kerberos Version 4.0" "MIT Project Athena"
.SH NAME
tftp \- trivial file transfer protocol
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B tftp
-action localname host foreignname [mode]
.SH DESCRIPTION
If 
.I action
is 
.B w,
.B p,
or
.B ap,
.I tftp
writes the local file, called localname, onto the foreign host's
file system as foreignname.  If
.I action
is
.B ap,
Kerberos authentication is used.
Note that foreignname must be quoted if it
contains shell special characters. If 
.I action
is
.B r,
.B g,
or
.B ag,
.I tftp
reads foreign host's file foreignname into the local file,
localname.  If
.I action
is
.B ag,
Kerberos authentication is used.
.I Tftp
will not supersede or overwrite existing local files, however; to do so,
use
.I action
.B o.
.sp 2
.I Mode
may be
.B netascii,
or
.B image.
Netascii, the default mode, transfers
the file as standard ascii characters.  Image mode transfers
the file in binary, with no character conversion.
.sp 1
If Kerberos authentication is not used with
.B tftp,
access will be denied unless the remote and local host are on the same
local-area network.
