Class TFTPClient


  • public class TFTPClient
    extends TFTP
    The TFTPClient class encapsulates all the aspects of the TFTP protocol necessary to receive and send files through TFTP. It is derived from the TFTP because it is more convenient than using aggregation, and as a result exposes the same set of methods to allow you to deal with the TFTP protocol directly. However, almost every user should only be concerend with the the open() , close() , sendFile() , and receiveFile() methods. Additionally, the setMaxTimeouts() and setDefaultTimeout() methods may be of importance for performance tuning.

    Details regarding the TFTP protocol and the format of TFTP packets can be found in RFC 783. But the point of these classes is to keep you from having to worry about the internals.
