    Unhappy [SOLVED] tftp file transfer

    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to transfer a file using tftp between two PC's. I have installed tftp-server, tftp, xinetd on both PC's. I am unable to transfer the file between the two systems. although the self transfer is working on both the system. I am getting the error "Transfer timed out"

    cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
    # default: off
    # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
    # protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
    # workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
    # and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
    service tftp
    {
    socket_type = dgram
    protocol = udp
    wait = yes
    user = root
    server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
    server_args = -c -v -s /tftpboot
    # disable = yes
    disable = no
    per_source = 11
    cps = 100 2
    flags = IPv4
    }

    my error:

    tftp 192.12.1.52
    tftp> put self.txt
    Transfer timed out.


    Please help me out of this problem.


    Thanks

    Have you checked to see if a host firewall on either system is blocking your connection?
