Use php to tftp

Hi

The linux router here uses tftp to transfer files.
What I wanna know is, can I write a script in php to automatically transfer a file...
example tftp:
tftp 122.22.22.1
bi
put file.tgz
quit

That puts a file on another computer that has tftp server running..
Can I do this with php? If not with what? I have tried with a shell script..

Kindest

You can if you got --enable-ftp www.php.net/ftp

Im am asking about tftp not ftp, will that work with tftp?

ah sorry about that man - got all confused here I guess in your case the best solution would be to use perl NET::TFTP or TFTP modules for this

Thank you very much sir

Will look into that

You could also create your own function with the socket functions build in PHP.
a basic tutorial on using sockets in php can be found here;

It is however like plainly opening a telnet session to the service port, so you will have to know the protocol (commands, formats, etc) which might take you some time to read up on.
Fun thing to write though.

Hi, it is quite simple, don't use TFTP directly but you can use SNMP to do it for you. Only what you need is running tftp server and get necessary MIB object numbers. I do this on Cisco routers and if you to, these urls should be usefull:
