1. Position the cursor in the Image File Name field. Type the name of the file to
be downloaded, or the name to be used for the file to be uploaded.
The file name may be a regular path name expression of directory names
separated by a forward slash (/) ending with the file name. The total path
name length can be up to 128 characters.
— DOS machine: If the TFTP server is hosted by a DOS machine, then
directory and filenames must consist of eight or less characters with an
optional suffix of up to three characters. The system will automatically
upload the configuration file and create directories and filenames as
needed.
— UNIX machine: If your server is hosted by a UNIX machine, the
configuration file you name must already exist. It will not be created on the
UNIX system by the TFTP server. It is critical that you work with your
system administrator to plan the naming conventions for directories,
filenames, and permissions so that anyone using the system has read and
write permissions.
— MCP FFS: When uploading configuration files to the MCP FFS, the
directory and filename must be entered, otherwise the download will fail.
