File Transfer (Debugging with GDB)

### 20.2 Sending files to a remote system ¶

Some remote targets offer the ability to transfer files over the same connection used to communicate with GDB. This is convenient for targets accessible through other means, e.g. GNU/Linux systems running `gdbserver` over a network interface. For other targets, e.g. embedded devices with only a single serial port, this may be the only way to upload or download files.

Not all remote targets support these commands.

`remote put hostfile targetfile` ¶

  Copy file hostfile from the host system (the machine running GDB) to targetfile on the target system.

`remote get targetfile hostfile` ¶

  Copy file targetfile from the target system to hostfile on the host system.

`remote delete targetfile` ¶

  Delete targetfile from the target system.
