[U-Boot-Users] TFTP usage at Linux shell prompt

[Verma]

Hi,

I am using JFFS2 file system for running the Linux on incaip board and would
like to download a file from another host using TFTP.The following are the
various commands and the respective outputs I have obtained when trying to
download the file.

1.command:        "#tftp 192.168.0.215"

output message:
        BusyBox v1.00 (2007.11.20-05:01+0000) multi-call binary

         Usage: tftp [OPTION]... HOST [PORT]

2.command:  "# tftp -m binary  192.168.0.215"

output message:
            "tftp: illegal option -- m
            BusyBox v1.00 (2007.11.20-05:01+0000) multi-call binary"

3.command: "tftp v  192.168.0.215"

output message:
          
              "BusyBox v1.00 (2007.11.20-05:01+0000) multi-call binary

               Usage: tftp [OPTION]... HOST [PORT]"

Is the format of the commands valid, what are the list of options that could
be given under OPTION field.
Kindly, give me some pointers to proceed in solving this issue.

Thank You,
Verma.

[U-Boot-Users] Antw: TFTP usage at Linux shell prompt

[Niklaus Giger]

After entering "busybox tftp" into google my first hit was
http://www.busybox.net/lists/busybox/2003-February/007972.html 
which describes the tftp options. and which gives this tip

# ./busybox tftp --help
BusyBox v0.61.pre (2003.02.04-12:10+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: tftp [OPTION]... HOST [PORT]

Transfers a file from/to a tftp server using "octet" mode.

Options:
        -l FILE Local FILE.
        -r FILE Remote FILE.
        -g      Get file.
        -p      Put file.



Please consider also looking at the busybox homepage http://www.busybox.net/

This commonly called RTFM (Read the fucking manual)

Best regards
