USER’S GUIDE

Each device has pre-assigned configurable access rights to the TFTP permissible file types. The access rights are configurable using the fileattr change Manage Mode command. Refer to File Attributes for more information regarding configuring the file attributes.

When a device remotely access the TFTP server, it doesn’t matter what level the device is logged in as. What matters is the device level that is configured for the Server on the system that is being logged into. It is this file access level (or device login level) that controls all remote devices accesses.
