TFTP Menu Options

The TFTP menu bar displays five menus: Exit, Settings, PutFiles, GetFiles and Help. The Exit menu terminates the TFTP program, and the Help menu displays any help information available about the TFTP. The other three are described below.

The Settings Menu

The Settings menu allows you to set up parameters and modes of transfers. When you select this menu, a dialog box will appear:

You can cancel any changes you make to the dialog box by clicking on Cancel. By clicking on OK, any new settings you make become the defaults for future TFTP sessions.

The following input fields and check boxes are available:

Host
This field is used to specify a network node name or address of the host used for transfers. When you click on the scroll arrow beside the Host box, a drop-down box will display host definitions being in your hosts file. To select a host, click on an appropriate definition.

File(s)
This field is used to specify one or more names of files you are about to transfer. File names are separated by a space.

Remote Directory
This field is used to specify a file directory on the host.

Local Directory
This field is used to specify a file directory on your PC.

Per-packet retransmission timeout (sec)
This field lets you set the per-packet retransmission timeout, in seconds. The default setting is 5 sec.
