TFTP SERVER OVERVIEW
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simplified version of FTP without
authentication and many other basic features.
TFTP is normally used only for booting diskless workstations. TFTP provides very
little security, and should not be enabled unless it is explicitly needed. The tftp-
server package allows users to download files from the OmniAccess 5740 USG
using TFTP.
ALCATEL-LUCENT SPECIFIC OVERVIEW
• The TFTP Server is based on the Open BSD (tftp-hpa version 1.3) version of the
code.
• TFTP services implemented on the OmniAccess 5740 USG platform allows you to
configure/download files from the user area of the USB. For the ease of use, each
file can be added with an alias associated with it and you can get the file referring
to the alias name.
• Only 'tftp get' option is allowed and the 'tftp put' requests are silently discarded.
• You can copy the files onto the USB using the copy command framework and
then add it to the list of files allowed for download through the TFTP server.
(To know more about the copy commands, refer to the “System Configuration
and Monitoring”chapter.)
• By default, the TFTP service is disabled and you should 'enable' the TFTP server
explicitly for the service to become available.
Note: Currently, we do not support uploading of files to the TFTP server running on
OmniAccess 5740 USG.
