Specifications

−− If your TFTP server is not configured with a
TFTP root directory, change the TFTP root directory
here to the root of the drive (e.g. C:\ or D:\).
−− If you are using a TFTP server on a remote
system, use the Universal Naming Convention (UNC)
when specifying the root directory path. The UNC
convention uses two slashes // (UNIX or Linux
systems) or backslashes \\ (Windows systems) to
indicate the name of the system, and one slash or
backslash to indicate the path within the computer. For
example, on a Windows system, instead of using
h:\ (where h:\ is mapped to the tftpboot
directory on the remote drive)
use
\\yourservername\tftpboot\
If the TFTP server resides on a remote system, or if the local system is configured with
multiple IP addresses, enter the IP address for the TFTP service in the TFTP Server IP
Address field.

remote system, be sure to use the UNC standard described in the Note above when specifying the
path.
