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.

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:
  • IOException – if an I/O error occurs.

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.
Throws:
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • IOException – If some other I/O error occurs.
  • TFTPPacketException – If an invalid TFTP packet is received.
Returns:The TFTPPacket received.
