N1 Provisioning - JET server uses FTP or TFTP ?

This question refers to the following document at docs.sun.com

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-6519/6n8he6e0a?a=view

This document says if you're using Solaris 10 you have to manually enable TFTP on the JET server. However, the actual command listed is really enabling FTP and not TFTP. So, my question is... Does the JET server use FTP or TFTP? Kind of liiks like the person who wrote the document didn't know there was a difference between FTP and TFTP. I could enable both but our security policy doesn't allow us to open unnecessary services.

I've already sent Sun a comment asking them to correct the documentation.

Hi acravens

JET is a wrapper around jumpstart, kickstart and autoyast .

You need TFTP for PXE to work, because it gets kernel through it.

You only need FTP when Red Hats kickstart downloads the packages through it ... but looking at jet scripts for RH plugin it seems we can configure it for NFS as we do for Solaris so I'd say you don't need it when all your profiles are setup to use nfs only ;)
