This category only appears if VanDyke Software's SecureCRT® 5.0 (or newer) is also installed.
The Terminal/TFTP Server category of the Global Options dialog allows you to configure the settings for the built-in TFTP server. Any changes made on this page will take effect the next time the TFTP server starts. The TFTP server supports RFC 1350 and RFC 2348. Files larger than 32MB can be transferred if the client supports packet wrapping.
