<h3 class="section">20.2 Sending files to a remote system</h3>

Some remote targets offer the ability to transfer files over the same
connection used to communicate with <span class="sc">gdb</span>. This is convenient
for targets accessible through other means, e.g. <span class="sc">gnu</span>/Linux systems
running <code>gdbserver</code> 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.
<p>Not all remote targets support these commands.

<span class="sc">gdb</span>) to <var>targetfile</var> on the target system.
