tftp: Connect to a TFTP server and execute a TFTP [c]ommand.
$ tftp ${server_ip} -c ${command}
try on your machine

This is a command in the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) client that allows you to interact with a TFTP server by sending a specific command.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. tftp: This is the command to start the TFTP client.
  2. ${server_ip}: This is a placeholder for the IP address or hostname of the TFTP server you want to connect to. You need to replace ${server_ip} with the actual IP address or hostname of the server.
  3. -c: This option is used to specify the command you want to send to the TFTP server.
  4. ${command}: This is a placeholder for the command you want to send to the TFTP server. You need to replace ${command} with the actual command you want to execute on the server.

For example, if you want to send the command "get myfile.txt" to a TFTP server with the IP address 192.168.1.100, the complete command would look like this:

tftp 192.168.1.100 -c get myfile.txt

This command would initiate a connection to the TFTP server at 192.168.1.100 and request the file myfile.txt from the server.
