tftpd help

**vincentw** · 11-10-2005

Hi, I'm wondering if I can use the tftpd package as an regular tftp server and not use it as an server where something boots from this. If so, how can I start the server as I've already installed it.

Thanks

tftpd should have installed an init script in /etc/init.d. Try running it, and see if that starts it.

i couldn't find /etc/init.d but it was a directory and there also is a file called inetd.conf. inside the init.d directory were some files but none of which were tftpd

thanks

Try running tftpd as root then.

it seems that it cannot find it. i always get command not found. I've checked in the package manager and it says it is installed

Are you root?

**vincentw** · 11-10-2005
