The compatible systems Microrouter uses tftp push to load its images, so,
yes, tftp can do this.

Another alternative is to cause the Pipeline to initiate a TFTP transfer by
sending it SNMP sets: (all variables from ascend.mib)
sysConfigTftpHostAddr := your.server.ip.address
sysConfigTftpFilename := "b.p50"
sysConfigTftpTftpCmd := save(1)
This way it's almost as if the SNMP manager initiates the tftp.
