not sure if you would need the full
c:\destination folder\file.exe
or just
c:\destination folder\
Good luck!
c:\destination folder\file.exe
or just
c:\destination folder\
Good luck!

That looks like a nice package.
You'll need the server you are connecting to to be running TFTP Service just as you would FTP, HTTP, etc. You would use the client to push or pull from the server just as in FTP, etc. Windows has FTP as well, simply as a client to connect to any FTP server. I am sure Microsoft offers a TFTP service in some way as well just as it offers an FTP sevice.

or a test server?
TFTP isn't very common. We have one you might be able to access. We load our router firmware there for downloading updates. Don't expect anything useful but if you simply want to see if it works, try this:

and thanx for the tftp server address to try out... that means alot
thanks!
From reading tftp /?, I gather that the syntax would be (using your example):
TFTP www.download.com GET file.exe c:\destination folder\file.exe
I use tftp only to update my router firmware so I am not that familiar with the Windows side of the transaction.
