I want to use the TFTP service. When I look at the results from net start, it says the crmtftp service is started. It says that as well under services. However, I can not tftp from any device to the VMS server ... Can anyone lend a hand?</P><P></P><P>Thanks,</P><P></P><P>Mike</P> Fri, 21 Feb 2020 09:34:04 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/vms-tftp-issue/m-p/804527#M1053973 mherald 2020-02-21T09:34:04Z Re: VMS TFTP Issue https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/vms-tftp-issue/m-p/804528#M1053974 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>The TFTP service that comes with VMS or LMS is not a typical TFTP server that you would load on a system.
