Ever tried to get a file of your modem? Mine uses BusyBox and tftp.

The BusyBox man page for tftp is very vague.

Nick Fedchik seems like he knows how to do it.

Usage: tftp [OPTION]... HOST [PORT]

Transfers a file from/to a tftp server using "octet" mode.

Options:

-l FILE Local FILE.
-r FILE Remote FILE.
-g Get file.
-p Put file.

So try next:

tftp -g -r filename.txt 20.20.20.1

It appears that two options need to be combined and used. I guess tftp -p -l filename.txt HOST should work and send a file the other way. Also the destination seems to need the file to exist and be world-readable to put (replace) it.

When compiling 64-bit perl 5.10.1 using Visual Studio 2008 (VS2008), the bufferoverflowU.lib isn't needed, so this line needs to be commented (#) out:

LIBBASEFILES = $(LIBBASEFILES) bufferoverflowU.lib

becomes:

#LIBBASEFILES = $(LIBBASEFILES) bufferoverflowU.lib

The good people at Net Applications have some monitor size statistics.

A nice way to display folder sizes in Linux. Will list all folders in current directory and size, as well as a grand total. Change -ch to -chb to see size in bytes.

du -ch | grep -v '\./.*/' | grep -v total
