Commit of the day for tftpd(8):
Add the -W options, which acts the same as -w but will generate unique names based on the submitted filename, a strftime(3) format string and a two digit sequence number. By default the strftime(3) format string is %Y%m%d (YYYYMMDD), but this can be changed by the -F option.
What does this mean? That you don't have to worry about overwriting your precious previous saved router configuration files:
[/tftpboot] root@tftp>ls -al -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 44048 Jun 22 08:52 hs2-bd8806.20070622.00 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 45973 Jul 21 17:24 hs2-bd8806.20070721.00 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 49140 Oct 4 21:49 hs2-bd8806.20071004.00 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 49176 Oct 4 21:53 hs2-bd8806.20071004.01 -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 49177 Oct 4 21:54 hs2-bd8806.20071004.02
This will be availabe in FreeBSD >7.0, >6.3 and >5.5.
Patches will be available from src/libexec/tftpd/
