TFTP Root Directory −− If you elect to enable and start the NetSight TFTP service, you
must specify the path to your TFTP root directory (the default directory name is \tftpboot). In
the TFTP Root Directory window, click Browse to navigate to the directory, or type the path
in manually. If the directory does not exist, Inventory Manager will automatically create the
directory at the location you specify. For more information, see TFTP Server Setup.
