ubuntu - tftp options put option doesn't upload the file

Question

I am using tftp to upload a file to a tftp server on my pc using the ubuntu subsystem on windows 10.

When I type a command like this:

tftp -m binary 192.168.1.166 -c put someFileName

It doesn't upload the file. Instead the tftp prompt is invoked. And I have to type binary, connect, put under the tftp prompts. Much more typing.

Just wonder if anyone else has run into this issue.

Answer 1

I installed tftp-hpa client in the ubuntu subsystem and now the -m -c options get recognized and I can do an upload in one command line.

Below is the link I followed to install the new tftp client: https://linuxhint.com/install_tftp_server_ubuntu/
