TFTP overview
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simplified version of FTP for file transfer over secure reliable
networks. TFTP uses UDP port 69 for data transmission. In contrast to TCP-based FTP, TFTP requires no
authentication or complex message exchanges, and is easier to deploy.
TFTP supports the following transfer modes:
• Binary mode—Used to transfer image files, such as .bin, and .btm files.
• ASCII mode—Used to transfer text files, such as .txt, .bat, and .cfg files.
NOTE:
Only the TFTP client service is available with your device.
