5.3.3.2 tftp/ftp Server Access
The NetBootLoader provides various functions for interfacing with either a tftp or ftp server.
The tftp server access is a simple method of acquiring a userimage from a remote source. Its
primary use is to download a single executable userimage from a given source. For example,
once an application has been programmed it would be possible to store it at a remote location
where it then would be available for remote booting of an VMP3 via the Ethernet port FCC1
(FE).
The ftp server commands provide various functions consistent with interfacing with such a
server.
The following table provides an overview of available tftp/ftp server functions.
