carver07 : 23/08/04 04:05 PM : Incident created -   Hello. I need to set up urgently a tftp server on my Mandrake 10 system. I have set up the file /etc/xinet.d/tftp service tftp disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = Root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s -c /var/lib/tftpboot per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 flags = IPv4 }. Then I use service xinetd restart. tftp localhost and the put and get commands does not work. Any help will be much much appreciated.

Touch the file you are trying to put, and then try to 'put' then 'get'. ie: Create a file called 'testfile' and put some content in it. # touch /var/lib/tftpboot/testfile # tftp localhost # put testfile # get testfile ------------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
