Direct Known Subclasses:
  TFTPClient

public class TFTP
extends DatagramSocketClient

The TFTP class exposes a set of methods to allow you to deal with the TFTP protocol directly, in case you want to write your own TFTP client or server. However, almost every user should only be concerend with the open() , and close() , methods. Additionally,the a setDefaultTimeout() method may be of importance for performance tuning.

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.

    Constant Field Values

Constructor Detail

### TFTP

    public TFTP()

  Creates a TFTP instance with a default timeout of DEFAULT_TIMEOUT, a null socket, and buffered operations disabled.

Method Detail

### getModeName

    public static final java.lang.String getModeName(int mode)

  Returns the TFTP string representation of a TFTP transfer mode. Will throw an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException if an invalid transfer mode is specified.

  Parameters:
    `mode` - The TFTP transfer mode. One of the MODE constants.
  Returns:
    The TFTP string representation of the TFTP transfer mode.

### discardPackets

    public final void discardPackets()
                              throws java.io.IOException

  This method synchronizes a connection by discarding all packets that may be in the local socket buffer. This method need only be called when you implement your own TFTP client or server.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### bufferedReceive

    public final TFTPPacket bufferedReceive()
                                     throws java.io.IOException,
                                            java.io.InterruptedIOException,
                                            java.net.SocketException,
                                            TFTPPacketException

  This is a special method to perform a more efficient packet receive. It should only be used after calling beginBufferedOps() . beginBufferedOps() initializes a set of buffers used internally that prevent the new allocation of a DatagramPacket and byte array for each send and receive. To use these buffers you must call the bufferedReceive() and bufferedSend() methods instead of send() and receive(). You must also be certain that you don't manipulate the resulting packet in such a way that it interferes with future buffered operations. For example, a TFTPDataPacket received with bufferedReceive() will have a reference to the internal byte buffer. You must finish using this data before calling bufferedReceive() again, or else the data will be overwritten by the the call.

  Returns:
    The TFTPPacket received.
  Throws:
    `java.io.InterruptedIOException` - If a socket timeout occurs. The Java documentation claims an InterruptedIOException is thrown on a DatagramSocket timeout, but in practice we find a SocketException is thrown. You should catch both to be safe.
    `java.net.SocketException` - If a socket timeout occurs. The Java documentation claims an InterruptedIOException is thrown on a DatagramSocket timeout, but in practice we find a SocketException is thrown. You should catch both to be safe.
    `java.io.IOException` - If some other I/O error occurs.
    `TFTPPacketException` - If an invalid TFTP packet is received.

### bufferedSend

    public final void bufferedSend(TFTPPacket packet)
                            throws java.io.IOException

  This is a special method to perform a more efficient packet send. It should only be used after calling beginBufferedOps() . beginBufferedOps() initializes a set of buffers used internally that prevent the new allocation of a DatagramPacket and byte array for each send and receive. To use these buffers you must call the bufferedReceive() and bufferedSend() methods instead of send() and receive(). You must also be certain that you don't manipulate the resulting packet in such a way that it interferes with future buffered operations. For example, a TFTPDataPacket received with bufferedReceive() will have a reference to the internal byte buffer. You must finish using this data before calling bufferedReceive() again, or else the data will be overwritten by the the call.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - If some I/O error occurs.

### beginBufferedOps

    public final void beginBufferedOps()

  Initializes the internal buffers. Buffers are used by bufferedSend() and bufferedReceive() . This method must be called before calling either one of those two methods. When you finish using buffered operations, you must call endBufferedOps() .

### endBufferedOps

    public final void endBufferedOps()

  Releases the resources used to perform buffered sends and receives.

### send

    public final void send(TFTPPacket packet)
                    throws java.io.IOException

  Sends a TFTP packet to its destination.

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - If some I/O error occurs.

### receive

    public final TFTPPacket receive()
                             throws java.io.IOException,
                                    java.io.InterruptedIOException,
                                    java.net.SocketException,
                                    TFTPPacketException

  Receives a TFTPPacket.

  Returns:
    The TFTPPacket received.
  Throws:
    `java.io.InterruptedIOException` - If a socket timeout occurs. The Java documentation claims an InterruptedIOException is thrown on a DatagramSocket timeout, but in practice we find a SocketException is thrown. You should catch both to be safe.
    `java.net.SocketException` - If a socket timeout occurs. The Java documentation claims an InterruptedIOException is thrown on a DatagramSocket timeout, but in practice we find a SocketException is thrown. You should catch both to be safe.
    `java.io.IOException` - If some other I/O error occurs.
