Send-TFTP Cmdlet
Parameters Output Objects Configuration Settings
The Send-TFTP cmdlet is used to upload files to TFTP servers via the TFTP protocol defined in RFC 783.
Syntax
Send-TFTP [parameters]
Remarks
To use the cmdlet, first specify the Server, then a LocalFile and a RemoteFile. The TFTPFile object is returned by the cmdlet to signal a successful transmission of the file..
Potential transmission errors and packet loss are managed by the Timeout parameter which controls the maximum time to wait for a response from the server, and the MaxTransmits parameter which specifies how many times to resend a failed packet before giving up.
The cmdlets support pipeline input for some of their parameters. Prebuilding an object and piping it to the cmdlet is very useful, but should be used with caution to prevent security conflicts. Steps have been taken to decrease the risk of a possibly accidental pipe to the cmdlet, for instance, the Credential parameter cannot be piped to the cmdlet and must be specified manually.
# upload a file via tftp send-tftp -server myserver -localfile test.txt
