Tftp server

[kiros88]

UGGG so im trying to setup a tftp server on red hat linux. Ive gone through like all the instructinos online.

And like i didnt get any errors or anything when typing the commands on the terminal but basically every time i try to test it i never works sooo im not really sure how im suppose to do this.

basically i have a tftp in one ip address. And with another system with a different ip address using the client tftp ipaddr(server) and i try to get foo and it never connects and I tried a ping and they ping together just fine soo im just not sure if the tftp server is even on

Welcome to the forums!

What are you trying to do with TFTP? Netboot a client, or just file transfer?

Which tftp daemon do you use? Can you copy and paste here all the output from an attempted session? Be sure to run verbose and then the status command. Try to capture as much errors as possible.

Something like this:

user@client $ tftp sputnix
tftp> verbose
Verbose mode on.
tftp> status
Connected to sputnix.
Mode: netascii Verbose: on Tracing: off Literal: off
Rexmt-interval: 5 seconds, Max-timeout: 25 seconds
tftp> get foo
getting from sputnix:foo to foo [netascii]
Error code 1: file /nfsroot/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/foo not found
tftp> q
user@client $

I'm mainly trying to get file transfers so basically it looks like this

user@client $ tftp sputnix
tftp> verbose
Verbose mode on.
tftp> status
Connected to sputnix.
Mode: netascii Verbose: on Tracing: off Literal: off
Rexmt-interval: 5 seconds, Max-timeout: 25 seconds
tftp> get foo
getting from sputnix:foo to foo [netascii]
transfer time out
user@client$
