Q:
Kenneth F. wrote: There's a TFTP server included in ZENworks, which can be a benefit when needing to update routers, etc. It does, however, not support long file names, and as most (eg. Cisco) IOS's are very long, a double rename has to occur (before and after). Isn't there a proper TFTP server available for NetWare that supports long filenames?

A:

The ZENworks TFTP server is only for the ZENworks Imaging - it's not supported otherwise. NetWare does not have a TFTP server built in.

Now, if you were to download a copy of SUSE Linux then there are plenty of TFTP servers freely available that can be used.

In fact, a quick look here shows that there is a TFTP server available for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and a look in YAST shows one available for SUSE Linux desktop (which can be downloaded via ftp for free).
