Configure TFTPD Authorization Page

Use this page to allow or deny access to specific files, or sub-directories, or both on the system. The alias name associated with a directory or file can be specified, if required. The TFTP server validates access to the directory or file requested by the TFTP client, by matching the file name requested and the name specified to ALLOW or DENY statements. If an alias is specified, it checks for a match with the alias first, and then looks for the directory name specified on the line is looked for.
