8.5 TFTP Server Setup

There are several TFTP servers in the market place, in this section we describe how to setup a commonly

used TFTP Server.

8.5.1 TFTP Server Settings

The administrator must configure basic parameters of the TFTP application:

Specify UDP 69 port - for TFTP incoming requests and TCP 12000 - for remote management of the

server. For file transmission the server opens UDP ports with random numbers. In case the option

Enable NAT or firewall support is activated on the server, the server uses the same port for files

transmission and listening to the TFTP incoming requests (UDP 69 port on default).

Specify the interface bindings, TFTP root directory, port which the TFTP Server will listen, timeout and

number of retries, and TFTP options supported by the server.

Configure the relevant TFTP virtual folder in the server. The TFTP virtual folder is the file folder,

visible for TFTP clients under a certain name. You can set security settings separately for every

virtual TFTP folder. Next, set rights to access TFTP folders according to the relevant clients.
