Clearing the TFTP Server File

The log file is not erased when the program is restarted and continues to gather information until you manually
clear it.

1. Open the TFTP Server application.

2. Click Clear Log in the configuration options at the top of the window.

Setting the TFTP Server Root Folder

The root folder is where TFTP clients access files. By default, the root folder is named Root and is created
under the FreeWave TFTP Server folder in the Windows Program Files folder. You can direct the root folder to
any other folder or drive on your computer.

Clients can only access files from the root folder or from subdirectories in the root folder. Clients see the root
folder as their root path. For example, if a client asks for a file named “sample.txt”, the server sends the file if it
is located in the server’s root folder. If there is a folder in the root folder named Examples and it contains a file
named “image.bmp”, then the TFTP client accesses that file using the path “examples/image.bmp”. Both
forward and backward slashes are allowed to separate directory and file names.

1. Open the TFTP Server application.

2. Click Configure in the configuration options at the top of the window to display the Server

Configuration window.

3. In the Root Folder field, enter the directory that you will use to hold files for a client's access.

Click the "..." button to the right of the field to open a file browser to select the directory.

Note: Filenames are case-insensitive. “EXAMPLE”, “Example”, and “example” are all

the same as far as the server is concerned.

4. Click OK to save your changes and return to the TFTP Server window.
