Hi…
I need to transfer files to an embedded platform (Embedded Planet PPC)
via tftp. However, I can not get tftp to transfer files even between a
laptop and a desktop.
-
Do I need to do something special in the server (the desktop) to
accept requests from a tftp client (e.g. do I need to have some sort of
trusted clients file somewhere?)?? (I understand that tftpd is
initiated by inetd automatically upon receiving a tftp request).
-
the embedded platform uses ttcpip, and the server uses tcpip, is this
a problem for the above question? I suspect NOT.
-
related question: what are the steps to set up an nfs server? This
is what I do (am I missing something?):
edit → /etc/exports
/usr/sbin/inetd
portmap
Nfsd
Thanks way in advance…

Here are the answers to my own questions…
- Do I need to do something special in the server (the desktop) to
accept requests from a tftp client (e.g. do I need to have some sort of
trusted clients file somewhere?)?? (I understand that tftpd is
initiated by inetd automatically upon receiving a tftp request).
No, but the /etc/inetd.conf needs to have this line added to it:
tftp dgram upd wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd in.tftpd
I also had to update the /etc/hosts to have the IP address of the board
that I was trying to tftp from.
- the embedded platform uses ttcpip, and the server uses tcpip, is this
a problem for the above question? I suspect NOT.
NO.
- related question: what are the steps to set up an nfs server? This
is what I do (am I missing something?):
edit → /etc/exports
This is only needed for NFS service
Need to update the /etc/inetd.conf
/usr/sbin/inetd
make that
/usr/sbin/inetd /etc/inetd.conf
portmap
Nfsd
This is meaningful only for NFS service, nothing to do with tftp.
Thanks way in advance…
