Copying a file from a remote host

When using TCP/IP to copy files, you can use this procedure to copy files from a remote host.

1. To establish a connection to a remote host, type:

   tftp host1

   In this example, host1 is the name of the host to which you wish to connect.

   The tftp> prompt is displayed.

2. To determine that a connection has been established, type:

   status

   A message similar to the following is displayed:

   Connected to host1
   Mode: netascii Verbose: off Tracing: off
   Remxt-interval: 5 seconds, Max-timeout: 25 seconds
   tftp>

3. Enter the get subcommand, the name of the file to be transferred, and the name to be assigned to the file on the remote system:

   get /home/alice/update update 

   The /home/alice directory on the remote host must have read permission set for other users. In this example, the /home/alice/update file is transferred from host1 to the update file in the current directory on the local system.
4. To end the session, type:

   quit

   or press the Ctrl-D key sequence.
