TFTP is a simple file transfer protocol running over IP that permits unsecured and unauthorized file exchange over the Internet/Intranet. TFTP is widely used to upgrade software and configuration parameters for various standalone units. TFTP is a client-server type protocol; FCD-IPM operates as the TFTP client. In order to use the TFTP-based features of FCD-IPM you need TFTP server software running on some of your PCs.

This screen permits you to configure common TFTP session parameters that are used for software upgrades and upload/download features.
