Im trying to configure my Ubuntu desktop as a tftp server.
I found the following instructions on how to do this. Most of the instructions I understand however Im not sure about step 2. The instructions are below:
In step 2 do I create a txt file in vi "sudo vi tftp" and copy and paste the service tftp text into the file??
or do I create a directory /etc/xinetd.d/tftp called tftp create the file tftp.
When I go to step 4 and attempt to start the tftp service I receive a message that indicates that the command has failed to start the server: is there away to verify that the tftp service is running??
What I receive is:
andy@andy-desktop:/$ sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start
* Starting internet superserver xinetd [fail]
andy@andy-desktop:/$
Howto install and setup
1. Install tftpd and related packages.
2. Create /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and put this entry:
3. Make /tftpboot directory
4. Start tftpd through xinetd
5. Testing. Tranfering file hda.txt from 192.168.1.100 (Client using tftp) to 192.168.1.100 (Server 192.168.1.100). Get an example file to transfer (eg. hda.txt)
