Transferring and Maintaining the TFTP Configuration File

To transfer the TFTP configuration file to the TPF system, use the command that is appropriate to the system where you maintain your TFTP configuration file and specify the to file as /etc/tftp.conf.

For example, to send the TFTP configuration file to your TPF system from a personal computer (PC) Windows NT system, use the command prompt:

TFTP tpf.inet.addr put c.fil /etc/tftp.conf

Where:

tpf.inet.addr
is the Internet address for the TPF system or its dotted decimal equivalent.

c.fil
is the file name of the TFTP configuration file on your PC.

The TFTP configuration file is stored in the TPF file system with access permissions of 444 octal. This allows owner, group, and other read access. Use the ZFILE chmod command to change the access permissions for the TFTP configuration file. See TPF Operations for more information about the ZFILE chmod command.

To update the TFTP configuration file that already exists on your TPF system, but is maintained on another system:

  1. Update the TFTP configuration file on the other system.
  2. Delete the existing copy on the TPF system using the command:

    zfile rm -f /etc/tftp.conf

    Note:
    The -f parameter removes the file even though write mode is set off.
  3. Transfer the updated TFTP configuration file to the TPF system as previously described.
