7.9 TFTP Server
Configure the NAS as a TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server for configuration
management of network devices and remote network booting of computers for system
imaging or recovery. TFTP is a file transfer protocol with the functionality of a very basic
form of FTP. TFTP does not provide user authentication and cannot be connected by a
standard FTP client.
Follow the steps below to use this feature:
1. Select “Enable TFTP Server”.
2. The default UDP port for file transfer is 69. Change the port number only when
necessary.
3. Specify a folder on the NAS as the root directory of the TFTP server.
4. Enable TFTP Logging: Enable this option and specify the directory to save the
TFTP log file (opentftpd.log). It is recommended to view the log file by Microsoft
Excel or WordPad on Windows OS or by TextEdit on Mac OS.
5. Assign read only or full access to the clients.
6. Restrict the TFTP client access by specifying the IP address range or select
“Anywhere” to allow any TFTP client access.
7. Click “Apply”.
