Using AT-TFTP Server

This section explains how to access and use the AT-TFTP Server. You can transfer configuration files as well as download software upgrades with

AT-TFTP Server.

1.

If AT-TFTP Server has not been installed, install it now. You can download it from www.alliedtelesis.com/support/software/ .

Select AT-TFTP Server from the Start > Programs > Allied Telesis >

AT-TFTP Server menu.

2.

To set preferences for the AT-TFTP Server, select Options from the File menu to display the Set Options dialog box.

• Default file transfer directories: one or more directories that AT-TFTP

Server will read from or write to, for requests that do not include a directory specification. Separate multiple directories with semi-colons

(“;”).

• Restrict to directories: To prevent unauthorised access to private directories, AT-TFTP Server will only use these directories, even if requests explicitly reference other directories. Separate multiple directories with semi-colons (“;”).

• Read Only/Read Write: For added security, select “Read only” to prevent AT-TFTP Server writing files to the PC. If you wish to use the

PC to archive scripts created using the create config command, you must enable the “Read Write” option.

• Diagnostic Messages: Check “Diagnostics Messages” to display additional diagnostic messages in the AT-TFTP Server window when debugging file transfers.

• IPv4 and IPv6: Choose whether AT-TFTP Server should respond to

TFTP requests received via IPv4 only, IPv6 only, or both IPv4 and IPv6.

• Firewall mode: select “RFC Compliant Mode” to allow multiple files to be transferred simultaneously, or “Firewall Friendly” to force all TFTP traffic to use port 69 as either the source or destination port. This will only allow one file to be transferred at a time.

• Click the OK button when you finish.

To download a file from AT-TFTP Server:

On switches running the AlliedWare

Privileged Exec mode and enter the command: awplus#copy tftp://ipadd/filename flash

filename is the name of the file to download and ipadd is the IP address of the

PC running AT-TFTP Server.
