class="REFBODY">tftp</div> <h3>MODULE SUMMARY</h3> <div class="REFBODY">Trivial FTP</div> <h3>DESCRIPTION</h3> <div class="REFBODY"><p> <p>This is a complete implementation of the following IETF standards:</p> <ul> <li>RFC 1350, The TFTP Protocol (revision 2).</li> <li>RFC 2347, TFTP Option Extension.</li> <li>RFC 2348, TFTP Blocksize Option.</li> <li>RFC 2349, TFTP Timeout Interval and Transfer Size Options.</li> </ul> <p>The only feature that not is implemented in this release is the "netascii" transfer mode.</p> <p>The <span class="bold_code"><a href="#start-1">start/1</a></span> function starts a daemon process which listens for UDP packets on a port. When it receives a request for read or write it spawns a temporary server process which handles the actual transfer of the file.</p> <p>On the client side the <span class="bold_code"><a href="#read_file-3">read_file/3</a></span> and <span class="bold_code"><a href="#write_file-3">write_file/3</a></span> functions spawns a temporary client process which establishes contact with a TFTP daemon and performs the actual transfer of the file.</p> <p><span class="code">tftp</span> uses a callback module to handle the actual file transfer. Two such callback modules are provided, <span class="code">tftp_binary</span> and <span class="code">tftp_file</span>. See <span class="bold_code"><a href="#read_file-3">read_file/3</a></span> and <span class="bold_code"><a href="#write_file-3">write_file/3</a></span> for more information about these. The user can also implement own callback modules, see <span class="bold_code"><a href="#tftp_callback">CALLBACK FUNCTIONS</a></span> below. A callback module provided by the user is registered using the <span class="code">callback</span> option, see <span class="bold_code"><a href="#options">DATA TYPES</a></span> below.</p> </p></div> <h3><a name="id2274315">TFTP SERVER SERVICE START/STOP </a></h3> <div class="REFBODY"> <p>A TFTP server can be configured to start statically when starting the Inets application. Alternatively it can be started dynamically (when Inets already is started) by calling the Inets application API <span class="code">inets:start(tftpd, ServiceConfig)</span>, or <span class="code">inets:start(tftpd, ServiceConfig, How)</span>, see <span class="bold_code"><a href="inets.html">inets(3)</a></span> for details.

Then either the <span class="code">read/1</span> or <span class="code">write/2</span> functions are invoked repeatedly, once per transferred block. At each function call the state returned from the previous call is obtained. When the last block has been encountered the <span class="code">read/1</span> or <span class="code">write/2</span> functions is expected to close the (virtual) file and return its last state. The <span class="code">abort/3</span> function is only used in error situations. <span class="code">prepare/5</span> is not used on the server side.</p> <p>On the client side the callback interaction is the same, but it starts and ends a bit differently. It starts with a call to <span class="code">prepare/5</span> with the same arguments as <span class="code">open/5</span> takes. <span class="code">prepare/5</span> is expected to validate the TFTP options, suggested by the user and return the subset of them that it accepts. Then the options is sent to the server which will perform the same TFTP option negotiation procedure. The options that are accepted by the server are forwarded to the <span class="code">open/5</span> function on the client side. On the client side the <span class="code">open/5</span> function must accept all option as is or reject the transfer. Then the callback interaction follows the same pattern as described above for the server side. When the last block is encountered in <span class="code">read/1</span> or <span class="code">write/2</span> the returned state is forwarded to the user and returned from <span class="code">read_file</span>/3 or <span class="code">write_file/3</span>.</p> <p> If a callback (which performs the file access in the TFTP server) takes too long time (more than the double TFTP timeout), the server will abort the connection and send an error reply to the client. This implies that the server will release resources attached to the connection faster than before. The server simply assumes that the client has given up.</p> <p>If the TFTP server receives yet another request from the same client (same host and port) while it already has an active connection to the client, it will simply ignore the new request if the request is equal with the first one (same filename and options). This implies that the (new) client will be served by the already ongoing connection on the server side. By not setting up yet another connection, in parallel with the ongoing one, the server will consumer lesser resources. </p> </div> <h3>EXPORTS</h3> <p><a name="prepare-6"><span class="bold_code">prepare(Peer, Access, Filename, Mode, SuggestedOptions, InitialState) -> {ok, AcceptedOptions, NewState} | {error, {Code, Text}}</span></a><br></p> <div class="REFBODY"> <p>Types:</p> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">Peer = {PeerType, PeerHost, PeerPort}</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">PeerType = inet | inet6</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">PeerHost = ip_address()</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">PeerPort = integer()</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">Access = read | write</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">Filename = string()</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">Mode = string()</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">SuggestedOptions = AcceptedOptions = [{Key, Value}]</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code"> Key = Value = string()</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">InitialState = [] | [{root_dir, string()}]</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">NewState = term()</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">Code = undef | enoent | eacces | enospc</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code"> | badop | eexist | baduser | badopt</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code"> | int()</span><br> </div> <div class="REFTYPES"> <span class="bold_code">Text = string()</span><br> </div> </div> <div class="REFBODY"><p> <p>Prepares to open a file on the client side.</p> <p>No new options may be added, but the ones that are present in <span class="code">SuggestedOptions</span> may be omitted or replaced with new values in <span class="code">AcceptedOptions</span>.</p> <p>Will be followed by a call to <span class="code">open/4</span> before any read/write access is performed. <span class="code">AcceptedOptions</span> is sent to the server which replies with those options that it accepts.
