Enabling TFTP Server

Enabling the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) Server allows you to configure network devices and boot computers on a remote network for system imaging or recovery. TFTP does not provide user authentication and you cannot connect to it using a standard FTP client.

  1. Log on to QTS as administrator.
  2. Go to Control Panel > Applications > TFTP Server.
  3. Select Enable TFTP Server.
  4. Enter a UDP port.
    Note:

    The default UDP port is 69. Change this port only if necessary.

  5. Specify the root directory.
  6. Optional: Enable TFTP logging.
    Note:

    This option saves the TFTP log file. QNAP recommends viewing the log file using Microsoft Excel or WordPad on Windows or TextEdit on macOS.

    1. Select Enable TFTP logging.
    2. Specify the folder where you want to save log files.
    3. Specify the access right.
  7. Select where to allow TFTP access.
  8. Click Apply.
