Usage of TFTP server to transfer files
To Download any file from TFTP server.
use this command:
#tftp -g -r <filename> <ip-addr>
To push/upload anyfile from device to host:
use this command on device
#tftp -p -r <filename> <ip-addr>
ACCESS VIOLATION ERROR:
when we get error like this on some device while pushing file to host.We need to create a file with the same name of file we want to transfer.Use touch command to create files
$cd /tftpboot
$touch a.out
$chmod 777 a.out
Now at device side transfer the file using tftp
#tftp -p -r a.out <ip-addr>

Remark: Download: tftp -g -r only works with tftpd server and downloads from configured source location at /etc/xinetd.d/tftp e.g server_args = -s /tftpboot
