tftp server...

Hi…

I need to have a tftp server going. But I have had no luck on this. I
init the inetd server, and the docs say that this should be enough, but
it is not. I suspect that I have some set up problems, but I can’t
figure out what it is that I am doing wrong. Can any one help me on
this???

Thanks…

Miguel.

Yeah, you need the proper line /etc/inetd.conf to tell inetd to start
the tftp server. If you read the docs on inetd.conf you should be
able to figure it out - look @ the ftp line.

Thanks Chris…

The line in the /etc/inetd.conf is:

tftp dgram upd wait root /usr/sbin/tftpd in.tftpd

and I also needed to update the /etc/hosts file to have the IP address
of the board that is trying to do a tftp.
