Disable TFTP and Auto-TFTP for Enhanced Security

Using the ip ssh filetransfer command to enable Secure FTP (SFTP) automatically disables TFTP and auto-TFTP (if either or both are enabled).

ProCurve(config)# ip ssh filetransfer Tftp and auto-tftp have been disabledProCurve(config)# sho run

Enabling SFTP automatically disables TFTP and auto-tftp and displays this message.

Running configuration:

Figure A-5. Example of Switch Configuration with SFTP Enabled

If you enable SFTP, then later disable it, TFTP and auto-TFTP remain disabled unless they are explicitly re-enabled.

Operating rules are:

The TFTP feature is enabled by default, and can be enabled or disabled through the CLI, the Menu interface, or an SNMP application. Auto-TFTP is disabled by default and must be configured through the CLI.
