FreeBSD ports tree (read-only mirror)
764e348a35
following when trying to upload configuration or download images
from it: The TFTP server doesn't support the blocksize option.
My curiousity was triggered, it took me some reading of RFCs and
other documentation to find out what was possible and what could
be done. Was plain TFTP very simple in its handshake, TFTP with
options was kind of messy because of its backwards capability: The
first packet returned could either be an acknowledgement of options,
or the first data packet.
Going through the source code of src/libexec/tftpd and going through
the code of src/usr.bin/tftp showed that there was a lot of duplicate
code, and the addition of options would only increase the amount
of duplicate code. After all, both the client and the server can
act as a sender and receiver.
At the end, it ended up with a nearly complete rewrite of the tftp
client and server. It has been tested against the following TFTP
clients and servers:
- Itself (yay!)
- The standard FreeBSD tftp client and server
- The Fedora Core 6 tftp client and server
- Cisco router tftp client
- Extreme Networks tftp client
It supports the following RFCs:
RFC1350 - THE TFTP PROTOCOL (REVISION 2)
RFC2347 - TFTP Option Extension
RFC2348 - TFTP Blocksize Option
RFC2349 - TFTP Timeout Interval and Transfer Size Options
RFC3617 - Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) Scheme and Applicability
Statement for the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP)
It supports the following unofficial TFTP Options as described at
http://www.compuphase.com/tftp.htm:
blksize2 - Block size restricted to powers of 2, excluding protocol headers
rollover - Block counter roll-over (roll back to zero or to one)
From the tftp program point of view the following things are changed:
- New commands: "blocksize", "blocksize2", "rollover" and "options"
- Development features: "debug" and "packetdrop"
If you try this tftp/tftpd implementation, please let me know if
it works (or doesn't work) and against which implementaion so I can
get a list of confirmed working systems.

This is the FreeBSD Ports Collection. For an easy to use WEB-based interface to it, please see: http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports For general information on the Ports Collection, please see the FreeBSD Handbook ports section which is available from: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html for the latest official version or: The ports(7) manual page (man ports). These will explain how to use ports and packages. If you would like to search for a port, you can do so easily by saying (in /usr/ports): make search name="<name>" or: make search key="<keyword>" which will generate a list of all ports matching <name> or <keyword>. make search also supports wildcards, such as: make search name="gtk*" For information about contributing to FreeBSD ports, please see the Porter's Handbook, available at: http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/ NOTE: This tree will GROW significantly in size during normal usage! The distribution tar files can and do accumulate in /usr/ports/distfiles, and the individual ports will also use up lots of space in their work subdirectories unless you remember to "make clean" after you're done building a given port. /usr/ports/distfiles can also be periodically cleaned without ill-effect.
