TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple file transfer protocol, generally used for transferring configurations or boot files when authentication is not required. Enabling the TFTP service allows the DiskStation to transfer boot loaders to client devices.
To configure TFTP settings:
- Go to Control Panel > File Services > TFTP and select Enable TFTP service.
- In the TFTP root folder field, specify which folder on the DiskStation can be accessed by TFTP clients.
- Click Advanced Settings to configure the following settings:
- Enable TFTP file transfer log: Keep track of data transferred via TFTP.
- TFTP Client Permission: Decide TFTP client permissions:
- Read only: TFTP clients can only view contents of the root folder.
- Writeable: TFTP clients can modify the contents of the root folder.
- Allowed clients: Choose which clients are allowed to connect via TFTP:
- All connections: All clients can connect via TFTP.
- Only allow the following IP address range: Only clients in the specified IP range can connect via TFTP.
- Timeout: If the TFTP server (i.e. your DiskStation) remains unresponsive over the specified time lapse, the TFTP connection will be stopped.
- Click Apply to save the settings.
