## org.apache.commons.net.tftp
Class TFTPPacket

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.net.tftp.TFTPPacket

Direct Known Subclasses:
  TFTPAckPacket, TFTPDataPacket, TFTPErrorPacket, TFTPRequestPacket

public abstract class TFTPPacket
extends Object

TFTPPacket is an abstract class encapsulating the functionality common to the 5 types of TFTP packets. It also provides a static factory method that will create the correct TFTP packet instance from a datagram. This relieves the programmer from having to figure out what kind of TFTP packet is contained in a datagram and create it himself.

Details regarding the TFTP protocol and the format of TFTP packets can be found in RFC 783. But the point of these classes is to keep you from having to worry about the internals. Additionally, only very few people should have to care about any of the TFTPPacket classes or derived classes. Almost all users should only be concerned with the `TFTPClient` class `receiveFile()` and `sendFile()` methods.

Field Summary
`static int` | `ACKNOWLEDGEMENT` This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 4.
`static int` | `DATA` This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 3.
`static int` | `ERROR` This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 5.
`static int` | `READ_REQUEST` This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 1.
`static int` | `SEGMENT_SIZE` The TFTP data packet maximum segment size in bytes.
`static int` | `WRITE_REQUEST` This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 2.

Method Summary
`InetAddress` | `getAddress()` Returns the address of the host where the packet is going to be sent or where it came from.
`int` | `getPort()` Returns the port where the packet is going to be sent or where it came from.
`int` | `getType()` Returns the type of the packet.
`abstract DatagramPacket` | `newDatagram()` Creates a UDP datagram containing all the TFTP packet data in the proper format.
`static TFTPPacket` | `newTFTPPacket(DatagramPacket datagram)` When you receive a datagram that you expect to be a TFTP packet, you use this factory method to create the proper TFTPPacket object encapsulating the data contained in that datagram.
`void` | `setAddress(InetAddress address)` Sets the host address where the packet is going to be sent.
`void` | `setPort(int port)` Sets the port where the packet is going to be sent.

Field Detail

### READ_REQUEST

    public static final int READ_REQUEST

  This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 1. Identifier returned by `getType()` indicating a read request packet.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### WRITE_REQUEST

    public static final int WRITE_REQUEST

  This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 2. Identifier returned by `getType()` indicating a write request packet.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### DATA

    public static final int DATA

  This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 3. Identifier returned by `getType()` indicating a data packet.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

    public static final int ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

  This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 4. Identifier returned by `getType()` indicating an acknowledgement packet.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### ERROR

    public static final int ERROR

  This is the actual TFTP spec identifier and is equal to 5. Identifier returned by `getType()` indicating an error packet.

  See Also:
    Constant Field Values

### SEGMENT_SIZE

    public static final int SEGMENT_SIZE

  The TFTP data packet maximum segment size in bytes. This is 512 and is useful for those familiar with the TFTP protocol who want to use the `TFTP` class methods to implement their own TFTP servers or clients.

    Constant Field Values

Method Detail

### newTFTPPacket

    public static final TFTPPacket newTFTPPacket(DatagramPacket datagram)
                                          throws TFTPPacketException

  When you receive a datagram that you expect to be a TFTP packet, you use this factory method to create the proper TFTPPacket object encapsulating the data contained in that datagram. This method is the only way you can instantiate a TFTPPacket derived class from a datagram.

  Parameters:
    `datagram` - The datagram containing a TFTP packet.
  Returns:
    The TFTPPacket object corresponding to the datagram.
  Throws:
    `TFTPPacketException` - If the datagram does not contain a valid TFTP packet.

### newDatagram

    public abstract DatagramPacket newDatagram()

  Creates a UDP datagram containing all the TFTP packet data in the proper format. This is an abstract method, exposed to the programmer in case he wants to implement his own TFTP client instead of using the `TFTPClient` class. Under normal circumstances, you should not have a need to call this method.

  Returns:
    A UDP datagram containing the TFTP packet.

### getType

    public final int getType()

  Returns the type of the packet.

  Returns:
    The type of the packet.

### getAddress

    public final InetAddress getAddress()

  Returns the address of the host where the packet is going to be sent or where it came from.

  Returns:
    The type of the packet.

### getPort

    public final int getPort()

  Returns the port where the packet is going to be sent or where it came from.

  Returns:
    The port where the packet came from or where it is going.

### setPort

    public final void setPort(int port)

  Sets the port where the packet is going to be sent.

### setAddress

    public final void setAddress(InetAddress address)

  Sets the host address where the packet is going to be sent.
