[Bug 330588] Re: tftp inoperative

[Antonio J. de Oliveira]

Hello Andreas

You didn't misunderstood my statement. In my point of view it is
misleading having two different tftp clients with different behaviour,
one working at the command-line level and the other not. This is not
just a question of semantics, it may confuse many people. Traditionally
and over all platforms tftp has supported command-line, so it is
included on shell scripts and batch files. One expects for example to be
able to connect to a machine using vncviewer and being able to quickly
tftp from there to a remote network device some update.

Why don't they call netkit-tftp a different name so it may co-exist
within the same machine with the OpenBSD version? This is the same as
you being used to use gEDA, invoke it and suddenly a different pcb
package pops up so you are losing precious time searching what happened
to the bloody stuff so as to behave differently from what you
expected...

Did I made myself clear? Of course you are free to close the bug report
or converting it into a functional wish.

Thanks again, always happy to cooperate.
