Its README presents it as a no-configuration tool for quickly serving or transferring files over TFTP. ### Project history The README explains the author's motivation: installing OpenWrt on routers often requires temporary TFTP transfer, while built-in or distro-provided TFTP servers can be hidden, missing, or awkward to configure. tftp-now packages that task as one executable with `serve`, `read`, and `write` commands. ### Adoption history The README provides direct release binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows, and notes Homebrew installation for macOS. The input metadata records tftp-now as a Homebrew package. ### How it is used Common usage is immediate file transfer work: `tftp-now serve` to start a server, `tftp-now read` to receive a file, and `tftp-now write` to send one. The README highlights release binaries for several architectures, which matters for router and embedded workflows. ### Why package nerds care For package-manager users, tftp-now is a classic tiny networking utility: installed only when a device bootloader or lab setup needs TFTP, but valuable because it avoids setting up a system daemon or inetd-style service. ### Timeline - 2023-03-21: The GitHub releases page lists tftp-now 1.0.0. - 2025-05-28: The GitHub releases page lists tftp-now 1.2.0. - 2026: The input metadata records tftp-now as a Homebrew package. ### Related projects - The README positions tftp-now against operating-system TFTP servers and distro tftpd packages rather than as part of a larger framework. ### Sources - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** tftp-now - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [bbftp-client](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bbftp-client/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, client, file-transfer, networking. - [yafc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/yafc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, client, file-transfer, networking. - [airshare](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/airshare/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-transfer, networking. - [croc](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/croc/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-transfer, networking. - [davix](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/davix/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-transfer, networking. - [duck](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/duck/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-transfer, networking. - [ffsend](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/ffsend/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-transfer, networking. - [gdown](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gdown/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, file-transfer, networking. - [pget](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/pget/) - Local metadata places this package in an adjacent workflow.
