File Attributes
Access to files on an system will be controlled by configuration through Manage Mode. File access
attributes are associated with the existing system device id’s (GUEST and ADMIN) to allow
configuration of file access rights.
Configuration of the TFTP feature through Manage Mode allows the administrator to restrict
upload and download access for each particular file type. The administrator can also disable the
entire feature or a portion of the feature through Manage Mode.
The system provides both a TFTP client and a TFTP Server function. The TFTP Client is invoked
via system commands from an administration session on the system console. The TFTP client uses
the file access attributes of the currently logged in device id, either GUEST or ADMIN.
The TFTP Server function is invoked remotely from a TFTP host device connected to either a LAN
or WAN network interface. The administrator sets the file access attributes for the TFTP Server
function by associating an system device ID (GUEST or ADMIN) with the TFTP Server function.
Whenever a remote host invokes the TFTP Server function in the system, the file access rights
associated with the configured device ID are applied to all file accesses by the remote host.
Each device has pre-assigned configurable access rights to the TFTP permissible file types. The
access rights are configurable using the
fileattr change Manage Mode command. Refer to File
Attributes for more information regarding configuring the file attributes.
When a device remotely access the TFTP server, it doesn’t matter what level the device is logged in
as. What matters is the device level that is configured for the Server on the system that is being
logged into. It is this file access level (or device login level) that controls all remote devices accesses.
