TFTP SERVER START
Purpose: Use this command to enable the access
point to act as a server. You can enable one
access point to act as a TFTP server and
download files to additional access points.
Syntax: TFTP SERVER START
After you issue this command, the access point responds to TFTP
client requests that are directed to its IP address. When acting as
a server, the access point supports up to four concurrent TFTP
sessions.
TFTP SERVER STOP
Purpose: When you are done transferring files, you
can stop the access point from being a TFTP
server by using this command.
Syntax: TFTP SERVER STOP
After you issue this command, the access point no longer
responds to TFTP client requests; however, current TFTP sessions
with the server are allowed to complete. This table lists error
messages that can be issued from the TFTP server. These
messages are sent to the client and are meant to be read from the
client perspective.
Error Message Explanation
TFTP server only
supports octet mode The client is attempting to transfer a file in
ASCII mode. The access point TFTP server
only supports octet mode, which includes
binary and image.
Unable to open remote
file The TFTP server cannot open the file that is
named in the read or write request. If you
are trying to read a file, the file may not exist.
If you are trying to write a file, the file may
be too big, the file may not have a access
point file header, or the file name may be
incorrectly formed.
Can’t read remote file The server returns this message if the access
point file system returns an error while the
server is attempting to read the file. This
message is unlikely to occur.
