The “Trivial File Transfer Protocol” (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload files from the
WL520 for backup or copying, and you can download the files for configuration and AP Image upgrades. The TFTP software
is located on the hp WL520 AP WL520 Installation CD-ROM.
If a TFTP server is not configured and running, you will not be able to download and upload images and configuration files
to/from the WL520. Remember that the TFTP server does not have to be local, so long as you have a valid TFTP IP Address.
TFTP does not have to be running for WL520 operations that do not transfer files.
