A notable disadvantage of TFTP, however, is it doesn’t offer optimal security and is more vulnerable than FTP. It’s also faster and easier to implement and configure, particularly when performing large-scale transfers of workstation configurations, files, updates, and more. TFTP is more lightweight than the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), with a smaller footprint.

There are no options in CatTools to specify a block size to use block sizes are negotiated between the TFTP Client and Server.The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a file-transfer protocol suited to the transfer of firmware updates, the movement of system images, and similar tasks requiring functionality over form.

If your network and devices are capable of handling larger block sizes, then you may be able to create much larger files.

There appears to be a known limitation in some TFTP clients to a file size of about 32MB, which corresponds to using the standard protocol block size of 512 bytes.

TFTP clients may also have a limit to file size they can send.

Set the maximum file size in MB that the server can create. Remove the messages created from a TFTP session from the display tab after the specified number of seconds.
