File Transfers
PerleVIEW uses file transfers for a number of functions. This includes, but is not limited to
downloading firmware updates, downloading/uploading device configuration, deploying scripts (only
if file transfer mode is used). PerleVIEW can use HTTP (or HTTPS) to transfer files or alternatively
it can use TFTP.
PerleVIEW comes with TFTP server software. You can define how TFTP is used on PerleVIEW in
the “File Transfers” screen. See
PerleVIEW File Transfer Settings .
PerleVIEW keeps firmware updates which it downloads or device configuration file which it uploads
from the devices in a directory. You can manage the location of this directory by selecting “Choose
location”. Doing this will allow you to perform manual backups of the information if you want to.

Repository
Location
The Repository location is the location on your PerleVIEW server where
your downloaded software and configuration files will be stored. Select “Let
PerleVIEW manage location” unless you want to perform manual backups of
this data. If you choose to specify your own software location to store your
updates the server path needs to be in Microsoft Windows UNC format
(Universal Naming Convention). Example
\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource. If you specify your own location
to store the files, you will need to provide your Windows network
credentials that have rights to this path.
