tftp server

[dachinster]

Hi guys,
I am trying to setup a tftp server.
Edit: Running Ubuntu 8.04 Server

Here is the output of /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
root@ubuntutftp:/home/dachinster# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
service tftp
{
protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftp/
disable = no
}

ls -la / gives:
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody root 4096 2008-05-02 14:02 tftp

and ls -la /tftp gives:
root@ubuntutftp:/home/dachinster# ls -la /tftp
total 12
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody root 4096 2008-05-02 14:02 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2008-05-02 12:41 ..
-rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody dachinster 27 2008-05-02 14:02 test2.txt

My problem is that when I do:
tftp 10.0.9.20
tftp> binary
tftp> put test2.txt

I get this:
tftp: test2.txt: No such file or directory

However, if I create another file in my /home directory named hda.txt for instance and i say:
put hda.txt
I will see the file transfer across

The problem is that I want the server to read and write to the folder /tftp

Any idea how to accomplish that?

Hi,

I also had the same problem. In order to get this working, I tried to set the current directory to the one mentioned in the server_args and then did the tftp. In that way it worked.


For my case, the directory I set in server_args: -s /tftpboot/

I also saved my hda.txt file in that same directory.
Now try to do the tftp from this directory and then put the file.
It should work.

Happy trying!!

hmmm,
Peculiar!
I changed it to -s /tftpboot/
It worked!
Then I changed it back to -s /tftp/
Then it started working with this too.... very strange

Thanks! :)

Ok
Now that I have the TFTP server up and running, I would like to create a separate log file to log each and every connection attempt and the file downloaded.
Also, I need to know the IP address of the machine that connects to it and requests the file along with the name of the file
How do I go about doing this? Is this possible?
