Originally developed for Windows 95, it reportedly runs on all Win32 platforms: Windows 98, Windows NT, ME, XP, now also ported to Mac OS X (so far only tested on Mountain Lion). Support for TFTP blocksize option allows transfer of large files if both TFTP server and client support it. Unlimited simultaneous transfers both for TFTP server and client.
Fully standard-compliant TFTP file transfer. Note: this functionality is only implemented in windows version. The primary use of PumpKIN is maintenance of the network equipment (such as router firmware upgrade) that fetches images from TFTP server, although it is also useful for transfering files between parties involved in a conversation over ntalk connection using our T42 software (it also detects ntalk conversation held over now obsolete program 'wintalk'). It also implements block size option, which allows transfer of files over 32MB, as well as transfer size and transfer timeout options described in RFC2348 To copy the file boot.img from the remote computer Host1, type: tftp -i Host1 get boot.PumpKIN is an open source, fully functional, free TFTP server and TFTP client, which implements TFTP according to RFC1350 Because the tftp protocol doesn't support user authentication, the user must be logged onto the remote computer, and the files must be writable on the remote computer. Transfers the file source on the local computer to the file destination on the remote computer. Transfers the file destination on the remote computer to the file source on the local computer.
If a file transfer is successful, the data transfer rate is displayed. Use this mode when transferring text files. This mode converts the end-of-line (EOL) characters to an appropriate format for the specified computer. If you don't use the -i option, the file is transferred in ASCII mode. Use this mode when transferring binary files.
In binary image mode, the file is transferred in one-byte units. Specifies binary image transfer mode (also called octet mode). A tftp server service is no longer provided by Microsoft for security reasons. Installing the tftp client is not recommended for systems connected to the Internet. The tftp protocol doesn't support any authentication or encryption mechanism, and as such can introduce a security risk when present. tftp is typically used by embedded devices or systems that retrieve firmware, configuration information, or a system image during the boot process from a tftp server. Transfers files to and from a remote computer, typically a computer running UNIX, that is running the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (tftp) service or daemon.
