So, I wrote one, and here it is. It's not 1.0 yet, but + downloading is production-ready IMHO, as some of the people using it + tell me.</p> + + <h2>Features</h2> + <p>At this time, it supports the following RFCs: + <ul> + <li> + <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1350.html">1350</a> + The TFTP Protocol, revision 2 (downloads only, octet mode only) + </li> + <li> + <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2347.html">2347</a> + TFTP Option Extension + </li> + <li> + <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2348.html">2348</a> + TFTP Blocksize Option + </li> + <li> + <a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2349.html">2349</a> + TFTP Timeout Interval and Transfer Size Options (just the + tsize option right now) + </li> + </ul> + </p> + + <h2>Future Plans</h2> + <p>I do have plans for this code before a 1.0 release, including the + following: + <ul> + <li>Full RFC 1350 compliance, including netascii mode (I could + care less about "mail" mode), and uploads (uploads are + experimental right now and are on the "upload-patch" branch on + Github).</li> + <li>Symmetric UDP support. I don't know of an RFC for this but + it's a no-brainer for NAT traversal. In this mode the server + should always respond on the port that the RRQ was sent to, so + stateful firewalls will permit the response.</li> + </ul> + </p> + + <h2>The Code</h2> + <p>You can find the latest release at the SourceForge + <a href="http://www.sf.net/projects/tftpy/">Project Page</a>, as a + source tarball. It should also be in <a + href="http://pypi.python.org/pypi">PyPi</a>, so you can use + easy_install if you prefer.</p> + + <p>The latest code though is always on the master branch + in <a href="http://github.com">Github</a>.
