will be allowed to create files to or read files from this directory and any of its subdirectories. The
default root directory is the tftpboot directory that Inventory Manager automatically creates when it is
installed. If you would like to use an alternate root directory, enter a path to that directory in this field,
or use the Browse button to navigate to the directory.
NOTE: Keep in mind the following requirements when setting the path
to your root directory:
If your FTP server is configured with a FTP root
directory, it must match the root directory entered here.
•
If your FTP server is not configured with a FTP root
directory, change the FTP root directory here to the
root of the drive (e.g. C:\ or D:\).
•
If you are using an FTP 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\
•
Firmware Directory Path
The default firmware directory is tftpboot\firmware\images. If you would like to use an alternate
firmware directory, enter a path to that directory in this field, or use the Browse button to navigate to
the directory. The firmware directory must be a subdirectory of the root directory. (The firmware
images stored in the firmware directory are added to the left−panel Firmware Mgmt tree when you
perform a firmware discovery.) If you are using an FTP server on a remote system, be sure to use the
UNC standard described in the Note above when specifying the path.
Login Information
Anonymous
Select this checkbox if your FTP server is configured to accept Anonymous logins. Inventory
Manager will automatically fill in the username and password fields.
Username/Password
Enter your username and password to access the FTP server. If you select the Hide Password
checkbox, your password will be replaced with asterisks when it is typed in.
TFTP Transfer Settings
Selecting TFTP Transfer Settings in the left panel of the Options window provides the following view where
you can set TFTP server properties. This view displays the TFTP server IP address and root directory path
specified in the Services for NetSight Server Options view and lets you set the firmware directory path. These
