Appendix C Installing and Using TFTP TFTP Requirements To use the TFTP service with the HP Server Remote Management Card, you must have: • TFTP client software. The client software is already built into the firmware of the HP Server Remote Management Card. • TFTP server software (tftpserv.exe). To run tftpserv you need one of the following operating systems: ◊ Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 ◊ Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME or 2000 TFTP server software requires TCP/IP availability on the computer on which it will run. Starting the TFTP Server To start the supplied TFTP server, you must execute the program "tftpserv.exe" on the server in a DOS window or using the Run... command from the Windows Start menu. Usage is as follows: tftpserv.exe [root] where [root] indicates the base directory from which a client can retrieve files. If you do not specify [root], the directory containing the tftpserv.exe file is used as the base directory. A TFTP client can request files within the base directory or its subdirectories but does not have access to lower directories. The server software enables the base directory to act only as a file source, not as a file destination. Updating the HP Server Remote Management Card Firmware If a new or backup version of the HP Server Remote Management Card firmware is stored on the TFTP server, you can download the update to your HP Server Remote Management Card. This must be done over the LAN. Firmware update of the HP Server Remote Management Card is not supported using a PPP connection. To update the HP Server Remote Management Card firmware, you must have a firmware image file stored under the base directory used by the TFTP server.

Appendix C
Installing and Using TFTP
TFTP Requirements
To use the TFTP service with the HP Server Remote Management Card, you must
have:
•
TFTP client software.
The client software is already built into the
firmware of the HP Server Remote Management Card.
•
TFTP server software (tftpserv.exe).
To run
tftpserv
you need one of the
following operating systems:
◊
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0
◊
Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME or 2000
TFTP server software requires TCP/IP availability on the computer on which it
will run.
Starting the TFTP Server
To start the supplied TFTP server, you must execute the program "tftpserv.exe"
on the server in a DOS window or using the Run… command from the Windows
Start menu. Usage is as follows:
tftpserv.exe [
root
]
where [
root
] indicates the base directory from which a client can retrieve files. If
you do not specify [
root
], the directory containing the tftpserv.exe file is used as
the base directory.
A TFTP client can request files within the base directory or its subdirectories but
does not have access to lower directories. The server software enables the base
directory to act only as a file source, not as a file destination.
Updating the HP Server Remote Management Card Firmware
If a new or backup version of the HP Server Remote Management Card firmware
is stored on the TFTP server, you can download the update to your HP Server
Remote Management Card. This must be done over the LAN. Firmware update of
the HP Server Remote Management Card is
not
supported using a PPP
connection.
To update the HP Server Remote Management Card firmware, you must have a
firmware image file stored under the base directory used by the TFTP server.
