Using TFTP Commands
TFTP commands are file transfer commands that you execute when you
are in Console Command mode. A access point can act as either a client
or server in the TFTP environment. As a server, the access point can
service read and write requests from a access point client. As a client, the
access point can read files from and write files to any TFTP server on the
network. Both the client and server must operate in octet, or 8-bit, mode.
When executing a script file, the access point retries TFTP client
commands get and put until the command is successfully completed. If
the first attempt fails, the access point retries after a one-minute delay.
With each successive failure, the retry time doubles until it reaches eight
minutes. Once this limit is reached, it remains at eight minutes until the
command is completed.
In general, TFTP client sessions should fail only if the server is not
responding either because it is busy serving other clients or because it
has not been started. In either case, the access point backoff algorithm
should prevent excessive network traffic when many access points are
trying to contact a TFTP server.
tftp get Purpose
Supports standard get and put commands. You can use the TFTP get
command to start a client session that gets a file from the TFTP server.
Syntax
tftp get IP address foreign filename local filename
where:
IP address is the IP address of the server. You can use
an asterisk (*) here if you want to use the
value in serveripaddress.
foreign filename is the name of the file on the server. The
filename can contain directory path
information and must be in the format
required by the server operating system.
The file must already have the appropriate
file header before the transfer to the access
point.
