Downloading an image file requires setting up your UNIX workstation as a TFTP server.

Use the following steps to set up a UNIX workstation:

1.If you already have a /tftpboot directory, confirm the TFTP setup of your workstation as follows:

Request a process status and grep for TFTP (e.g., unix% netstat -a grep tftp).

The following information represents a typical output:

user	161	7.7	1.2	32	184	p3	S	12:00	grep tftp
root	87	0.0	0.9	48	136	?	S	11:05	tftp -s

The term tftp -s, located at the end of the root string, indicates TFTP is active. If TFTP is NOT running, only the grep process appears.

2.If you do NOT have a /tftpboot directory, then create one (e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot).
