TFTP Server
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple protocol for exchanging files between two TCP/IP machines. TFTP servers allow connections from TFTP clients to perform file send and receive operations. TFTP users initiate connections by starting a TFTP client program, which generally uses a command-line interface.
The TFTP protocol supports only file send and receive operations. File delete, file move, and file rename are not supported. Due to its limitations, TFTP is a complement to the regular File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and not a replacement. It is used only when its simplicity is important, and its lack of features is acceptable. The most common application is bootstrapping, although it can be used for other purposes.
Embedded TFTP Server can be used to upload HTTP Web pages or to download log files to a remote PC. In this case, the Flash File System must be used, and the Embedded Web Server must be properly configured.
Supported Features
The Embedded TFTP server has integrated advanced features:
- Access filtering
allows you to filter out the hosts, which are not allowed to connect to the TFTP Server.
