tftp server

Hi,

I would like to see a tftp server in ROS.
I use cable modem equipment which is configured with
dhcp and tftp. So I could live with a single RB500 to
make connection to internet and control cable modems.

you mean like - ftp client in RouterOS?

no he means TFTP. as far as I know, there is no plan to make this

there already is ftp server in routerOS, why to add one more?

since router is no network server, there will be no extended ftp features included.

apparently this cable modem eqipment only knows tftp and not ftp.

Yes. That’s the point. Tftp is used cause it’s “Trivial”-ftp.
Device programmers like it because it’s less code they have to
put into their bios-eproms. Many Routers take this for flash
upgrades.

Also it’s not much code for MT-Programmers to add
:wink:

Of course if I’m the only user out there who need’s it, there is no
motivation for MT to spend time for this feature. So if there are
others …

Stefan

I would love to see a TFTP server in RouterOS as well.
