Tftp Server Gui Mac OS X

While similar to FTP, TFTP has no username and password (in most cases) and should not be running when you do not need it.

Its still in use today for a number of appliances such as routers and switches, to get firmware and occasionally configuration files.

Tftp Server Gui Mac OS X

Theres a nice little GUI utility that can be used to house a TFTP server on Mac OS X.

Once you have downloaded it, you can open the application and you will be placed into the main application screen.

By default, the TFTP server will share out the privatetftpboot directory.

If youve already got DeployStudio running then youve already got some form of tftp services that you can use and might already have some data in there.

You can change the path (if you use DeployStudio with Windows clients you might not want to or you might break the PXE booting) by clicking in the currentpath field and typing the path to the directory youd like to share out via TFTP.

Once you are satisfied with the directory that youre sharing out, click on the Start TFTP button.

Then, once youre complete with the tasks at hand that require TFTP go ahead and stop it again by clicking on the Stop TFTP button.

You can also use the tftpd located in usrlibexec, but most of the time youll just need a quick GUI to accomplish a task, which the TftpServer app is great for.

Now as far as TFTP clients go, a number of devices can require you to TFTP into them to upload a configuration file or a firmware version.

It can also be helpful for testing functions of the server that rely on TFTP.

There is a TFTP command line client located in usrbin called appropriately tftp.

You can use the get, put and quit verbs much as with other similar tools.

There is also a GUI application for Mac OS X in Mac TFTP client.
