Operation Manual – FTP and TFTP
Quidway S3100 Series Ethernet Switches
To download a file, a client sends read request packets to the TFTP server,
receives data from the TFTP server, and then sends acknowledgement packets to
the TFTP server.
To upload a file, a client sends writing request packets to the TFTP server, sends
data to the TFTP server, and then receives acknowledgement packets from the
TFTP server.
TFTP-based file transmission can be performed in the following modes:
Binary mode, where executable files are transmitted.
ASCII mode, where text files are transmitted.
Note:
Before performing TFTP-related configurations, you need to configure IP addresses
for the TFPT client and the TFTP server, and make sure the route between the two
is reachable.
A switch can only operate as a TFTP client.
