Uploading/Downloading Files Using a TFTP Client
To updload or download a file using a TFTP client, do the following:
IMPORTANT!
TFTP does not define an authentication scheme. Any use of the TFTP client or server is considered
highly insecure.
NOTE
This method requires a TFTP server that is accessible over the network.
1. Identify the IP address of the computer running the TFTP server.
2. Establish a direct connection between the device and a host computer. For more information, refer to
Section 2.1.1, “Connecting to ROS Through a Direct Connection”.
3. Log in to the device as an admin user and access the CLI shell. For more information about accessing the
CLI shell, refer to Section 2.6, “Using the Command Line Interface”.
NOTE
The get option sends files to the host computer, while the put option pulls files from the host
computer.
4. At the CLI prompt, type:
tftp address [ get | pull ] source-filename destination-filename
Where:
• address is the IP address of the computer running the TFTP server
• source-filename is the name of the file to be transferred
• destination-filename is the name of the file (on the device or the TFTP server) that will be replaced
during the transfer
The following is an example of a successful TFTP client file transfer:
>tftp 10.0.0.1 get ROS-CF52_Main_v3.7.0.bin main.bin
TFTP CMD: main.bin transfer ok. Please wait, closing file ...
TFTP CMD: main.bin loading succesful.
