TFTP BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) feature provides the ability through the TFTP Server, to upload and download configuration, report, statistics, and other system files to or from a remote system. The TFTP feature also provides the capability from the console for the device to send and receive the same file types through the TFTP Client function.

The TFTP feature will provide controlled read (download) and write (upload) access by remote systems to configuration, report, statistics, and other system files on target systems through the TFTP Server. The system will also have the ability to upload and download these file types to or from target remote systems through a console invoked TFTP Client function.
