TFTP != PuTTY

  • TFTP is the Ethernet software to transfer files
  • PuTTY is a terminal emulator that talks on the Serial line

BTW, this means your laptop/PC running TFTP software is set to 192.168.0.33 when you do the file transfer via Ethernet cable.

:spiral_notepad: (Firewall on machine running TFTP turned off.)
