Swearingen >Release: FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE i386 >Organization: none >Environment: n/a ================ >Description: The tftp(1) manual's "get" command syntax/description is very confusing. -- The first two syntax lines seem redundant, given the third, except that the second form seems to have a special behavior of renaming the file, but it's unclear how that's different from just requesting two files from the remote system. -- The description refers to "source" (underlined) which isn't mentioned in the syntax statements. And the things mentioned in the systax statements aren't mentioned in the description. -- Similarly for the "put" command. ================ >How-To-Repeat: n/a ================ >Fix: Determine how to specify a "get" of two files and how to specify a "get" of one file to be renamed locally and rewrite the whole thing. Similarly for "put". >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
