Operation Manual – FTP and TFTP
Quidway S5600 Series Ethernet Switches-Release 1510
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.
