Chapter 12. ADTRAN Utilities
Successful Transfer
The Previous Transfer Status field indicates success or failure of the trans- fer. If successful, the field reads TFTP Download Complete, and the Current Transfer Status field displays Idle. The file is now present on the TFTP Serv- er. (For the ADTRAN TFTP Server, it is stored in the installation directory or the directory you specified.)
TFTP is not secure. No passwords are required for client access. Anyone can access files through the IP port on the server machine if they know the target file’s name. For security purposes, close this utility as soon as you have finished using it.
Unsuccessful Transfer
There are various reasons why a configuration download may fail. For ex- ample, the server may not allow the specific filename to be created or over- written, the specified directory path may not be valid, or there may not be sufficient disk space on the remote server for the new file (although config- uration files are not normally large). A specific error message displays when the transfer is unsuccessful.
Also, a TFTP Server may not be available at the configured IP address. If the TFTP Server cannot be contacted, the download attempt will timeout in ap- proximately 20 seconds. Remember to direct transferred files to the Applica- tion directory.
Retrieving the Configuration from a TFTP Server
Before trying to retrieve the configuration, ensure that a TFTP Server is run- ning on a remote machine. If you are running the ADTRAN TFTP Server program, the server is automatically enabled when you start the program.
