Abstract: Systems and methods for access security for dataloading are provided. In one implementation, a system comprises a first computer that transmits a packet, the first computer comprising: an authentication code memory that stores an authentication code for the packet; a first processing unit that executes communication instructions in a first memory, the communication instructions attaching the authentication code to the packet; and a first communication port that transmits the packet.

Abstract: Systems and Methods for Negotiated Accelerated Block Option for Trivial File Transfer Protocol are provided. In one embodiment, a method for implementing a negotiated accelerated Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) file transfers, the method comprising: transmitting a TFTP request packet for accelerated transfer from a requesting device to a serving device; receiving a response from the serving device; determining whether to initiate an accelerated transfer by evaluating the response packet from the serving device; and when evaluating the response packet indicates that the serving device accepts acceleration, initiating an accelerated TFTP file transfer using a negotiated block acceleration value, wherein the negotiated block acceleration value is negotiated by the client device and the Accelerated TFTP Server Engine based on one or both of hardware constraint factors and transmission statistics.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multiple computer dataloading using a standard dataloader are provided. In one embodiment, a method for simultaneously uploading duplicate data to a plurality of computers comprises: performing a handshake message exchange with a dataloader to determine a MAC address for a target node; conducting a data transfer between the dataloader and the target node by forwarding a file transfer protocol message having the MAC address for the target node from the dataloader to the target node; forwarding the file transfer protocol message to at least one node other than the target node, wherein the at least one node and the target node both consume the file transfer protocol message; and selectively suppressing one or more response messages generated by the at least one node from reaching the dataloader.

Abstract: A method of transferring data using a Trivial File Transport Protocol (TFTP) comprises sending a request packet from a client to a server, the request packet comprising a first TFTP option requesting that a segment of a grouping of data be transferred, and if an option acknowledgment packet comprising a second TFTP option corresponding to the first TFTP option is received at the client from the server, transferring the segment of the grouping of data as indicated in the second TFTP option using TFTP.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved data transfers are provided. In one embodiment, a computer readable data storage device having computer executable code for a method for an accelerated file transfer protocol is provided. The method comprises: determining a number (N) of data blocks for accelerating a sending device ahead of a receiving device; transmitting an initial data block plus N additional data blocks to the receiving device without waiting for an acknowledgement (ACK) message from the receiving device; checking for receipt of an ACK message; when a correct ACK message is received, transmitting a next data block; and when a final data block is transmitted, verifying receipt of an ACK message for each of a last N transmitted data blocks.
