Class TFTP

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.AutoCloseable
    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.

    • Constructor Detail

      • TFTP

        public TFTP()
        Creates a TFTP instance with a default timeout of DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_DURATION, 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.
      • 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 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.

        Parameters:
        packet - The TFTP packet to send.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - If some I/O error occurs.
      • 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.
      • endBufferedOps

        public final void endBufferedOps()
        Releases the resources used to perform buffered sends and receives.
      • receive

        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.

      • resetBuffersToSize

        public final void resetBuffersToSize​(int packetSize)
        Sets the size of the buffers used to receive and send packets. This method can be used to increase the size of the buffer to support `blksize`. For which valid values range between "8" and "65464" octets (RFC-2348). This only refers to the number of data octets, it does not include the four octets of TFTP header.
        Parameters:
        packetSize - The size of the data octets not including 4 octets for the header.

      • send

        public final void send​(TFTPPacket packet)
                        throws java.io.IOException
        Sends a TFTP packet to its destination.
        Parameters:
        packet - The TFTP packet to send.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - If some I/O error occurs.
      • trace

        protected void trace​(java.lang.String direction,
                             TFTPPacket packet)
        Trace facility; this implementation does nothing.

        Override it to trace the data, for example:
        System.out.println(direction + " " + packet.toString());

        Parameters:
        direction - > or <
        packet - the packet to be sent or that has been received respectively
