Introduction to File Transfer via TFTP or HTTP

• Uploading files (Configuration, CLI Batch File) from the AP is called “Retrieving Files.”

A TFTP server must be running and configured to point to the directory containing the file. 

If you do not have a TFTP server installed on your system, install the TFTP server from the ORiNOCO CD.

HTTP file transfer can be performed either with or without SSL enabled.

HTTP file transfers with SSL require enabling Secure Management and Secure Socket Layer. HTTP transfers that use 
SSL may take additional time.

The Access Point performs checks to verify that an image downloaded through HTTP or TFTP is valid. The following 
checks are performed on the downloaded image:

• Zero Image size
• Large image size
• Non VxWorks image
• AP image
• Digital signature verification

If any of the above checks fail on the downloaded image, the Access Point deletes the downloaded image and retains the 
old image. Otherwise, if all checks pass successfully, the AP deletes the old image and retains the downloaded image. 

These checks are to ensure that the AP does not enter an invalid image state. The storage of the two images is only 
temporary to ensure the proper verification; the two images will not be stored in the AP permanently.

Image error checking functions automatically in the background. No user configuration is required.
