tftp: Connect to a TFTP server specifying its IP address and port.
$ tftp ${server_ip} ${port}
try on your machine

The command "tftp ${server_ip} ${port}" uses the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) utility to initiate a file transfer between a client and a server.

Here is a breakdown of the command segments:

  • "tftp": It is the name of the TFTP utility or command.
  • "${server_ip}": It is a placeholder for the IP address or hostname of the TFTP server. You should replace "${server_ip}" with the actual IP address or hostname you want to connect to.
  • "${port}": It is a placeholder for the port number on which the TFTP server is running. Again, you should replace "${port}" with the actual port number used by the TFTP server.

When executed, this command instructs the TFTP utility to connect to the specified TFTP server at the provided IP address and port number. It allows for downloading or uploading files to the server using the TFTP protocol.
