TFTP Tab Field Descriptions

You must have a TFTP server running on any host that you are uploading or downloading files
to/from.

Note:

TFTP file transfers send via UDP packets. When the packet delivery is interrupted for any
reason and a timeout occurs, that packet is resent if the retry count allows it. Therefore, if a
very large file is being transferred and is interrupted, the entire file is not resent, just the part
of the file that was not received.

Configure the following parameters:

Retry

Timeout
