FTP AT commands

This page describes FTP-related AT commands.

FTP client #XFTP

The #XFTP command allows you to send FTP commands.

Set command

The set command allows you to send FTP commands.

Syntax

#AT#XFTP=<cmd>[,<param1>[<param2]..]]

The <cmd> command is a string, and can be used as follows:

  • AT#XFTP="open",<username>,<password>,<hostname>[,<port>[,<sec_tag>]]

  • AT#XFTP="status"

  • AT#XFTP="ascii"

  • AT#XFTP="binary"

  • AT#XFTP="close"

  • AT#XFTP="verbose","on|off"

  • AT#XFTP="pwd"

  • AT#XFTP="cd",<folder>

  • AT#XFTP="ls"[,<options>[,<folder or file>]]

  • AT#XFTP="mkdir",<folder>

  • AT#XFTP="rmdir",<folder>

  • AT#XFTP="rename",<filename_old>,<filename_new>

  • AT#XFTP="delete",<file>

  • AT#XFTP="get",<file>

  • AT#XFTP="put",<file>[,<data>]

  • AT#XFTP="uput"[,<data>]

  • AT#XFTP="mput",<file>[,<data>]

The values of the parameters depend on the command string used. When using the put, uput and mput commands, if the <data> attribute is not specified, SLM enters slm_data_mode.

Note

The maximum size of the data that can be received when using the commands ls and get is limited by the size of the internal FTP buffer, which is 2048 bytes. The size can be adjusted by modifying the declaration of ftp_data_buf in src/ftp_c/slm_at_ftp.c.

If more data than can be handled is received after issuing an ls or get command, the data will be truncated to the maximum supported size.

Response syntax

The response syntax depends on the commands used.

Read command

The read command is not supported.

Test command

The test command is not supported.

TFTP client #XTFTP

The #XTFTP command allows you to send TFTP commands.

Set command

The set command allows you to send TFTP commands based on RFC1350.

Syntax

AT#XTFTP=<op>,<url>,<port>,<file_path>[,<mode>,<data>]

  • The <op> parameter can accept one of the following values:

    • 1 - TFTP read request using IP protocol family version 4.

    • 2 - TFTP write request using IP protocol family version 4.

    • 3 - TFTP read request using IP protocol family version 6.

    • 4 - TFTP write request using IP protocol family version 6.

  • The <url> parameter is a string. It indicates the hostname or the IP address of the TFTP server. Its maximum size is 128 bytes. When the parameter is an IP address, it supports both IPv4 and IPv6.

  • The <port> parameter is an unsigned 16-bit integer (0 - 65535). It represents the TFTP service port on the remote server, which is usually port 69.

  • The <file_path> parameter is a string. It indicates the file path on the TFTP server to read from or write to. Its maximum size is 128 bytes.

  • The <mode> parameter is a string. It indicates the three modes defined in TFTP protocol. Valid values are netascii, octet and mail. The default value octet is applied if this parameter is omitted.

  • The <data> parameter is a string. When <op> has a value of 2 or 4, this is the data to be put to the remote server.

    Note

    The maximum data size supported in WRITE request is 1024 bytes. The TFTP connection is terminated by writing less than 512 bytes, as defined in the protocol specification (RFC 1350).

Response syntax

#XTFTP: <size>, "success"
<data>

#XTFTP: <error>, "<error_msg>"

  • The <size> value is an integer. When positive, it indicates the size of data in bytes read from TFTP server.

  • The <data> value is the arbitrary data read from TFTP server.

  • The <error> value is an integer. It is a negative integer based on the type of error.

  • The <error_msg> value is a string. It is the description that corresponds to the <error> value.
