Click the graphic for more information.
Server Properties
Use this area to edit two of the alternate server's properties: the identifier and the server root path.
- Server IP
- The IP address of the workstation where the TFTP, FTP, or SCP server is running. You cannot edit this property. To change the server IP, you must remove this alternate server from the list, and add a new one using the Add Alternate Firmware Server window.
- Server Root Path
- Edit the server root path. The root directory is the base directory
to which the server is allowed access. The server will be allowed to
create files to or read files from this directory and any of its
subdirectories.
NOTES: Changing the root directory requires restarting the server. Also, keep in mind the following requirements when setting the server root path:
- If your server is configured with a root directory, it must match the root directory entered here.
- If your server is not configured with a root directory, specify the root directory here as the root of the drive (e.g. C:\ or D:\).
- Transfer Protocol
- The transfer protocol for the alternate firmware server. You cannot edit this property. To change the transfer protocol, you must remove this alternate server from the list, and add a new one using the Add Alternate Firmware Server window.
TFTP Connection Information
This area displays connection information for an alternate server that has been configured with TFTP protocol.
- Port
- The port number your TFTP server is configured to run on. You cannot edit this property. To change the port number, you must remove this alternate server from the list, and add a new one using the Add Alternate Firmware Server window.
FTP/SCP Connection Information
This area displays connection information for an alternate server that has been configured with FTP or SCP protocol.
- Port
- The port number your FTP/SCP server is configured to run on. You cannot edit this property. To change the port number, you must remove this alternate server from the list, and add a new one using the Add Alternate Firmware Server window.
- Anonymous
- Select or deselect this checkbox depending on whether your FTP/SCP server is configured to accept Anonymous logins.
- Username/Password
