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  RFC1350, RFC2347, RFC2348 and RFC2349. It also support multicast implementation of
       RFC2090 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.

       -P, --password

              Linksys routers and shouldn't be used elsewhere.

       -l, --local-file
              Non  interactive invocation only. The client side (locat) file name to read or write. Must be used
              in conjunction with --get or --put.
