Tftp

• tftp server

sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp

Here is where the solution came from: http://mohammadthalif.wordpress.com/2010/03/05/installing-and-testing-tftpd-in-ubuntudebian/

And here is what's there:

   Install following packages.

   sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp

   Create /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and put this entry

   service tftp
   {
   protocol        = udp
   port            = 69
   socket_type     = dgram
   wait            = yes
   user            = nobody
   server          = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
   server_args     = /tftpboot
   disable         = no
   }

   Create a folder /tftpboot this should match whatever you gave in server_args. mostly it will be tftpboot

   sudo mkdir /tftpboot
   sudo chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
   sudo chown -R nobody /tftpboot

   Restart the xinetd service.

   sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

   Now our tftp server is up and running.

Testing our tftp server

   Create a file named test with some content in /tftpboot path of the tftp server

   Obtain the ip address of the tftp server using ifconfig command

   Now in some other system follow the following steps.

   tftp 192.168.1.2
   tftp> get test
   Sent 159 bytes in 0.0 seconds

   tftp> quit

   cat test
