TFTP problems

[Breixo L Garcia]

Hi,

I am beginner with TFTP protocol in Linux. I have been trying to connect a AM335x EVM Board with my Host to make boot. but first I will like to test my TFTP server.

The configuration is the next:
# 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 = /tftpboot
disable = no
}

# cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa

# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/tftpboot"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"
RUN_DAEMON="yes"

the /tftboot has this files:

# ls -l /tftpboot/
insgesamt 3096
-rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody root 174 Dez 4 14:50 test
-rwxrwxrwx 1 nobody root 3163680 Dez 7 08:59 uImage-am335x-evm.bin

However when I like getting locally some file in /tftpboot over TFTP protocol, I obtain that:

# tftp localhost
tftp> get uImage-am335x-evm.bin
Error code 1: File not found
tftp> quit

Then I make that I see the /var/log/syslog and it shows:

Dec 12 15:29:46 sst-virtual-machine tftpd[6987]: tftpd: trying to get file: uImage-am335x-evm.bin
Dec 12 15:29:46 sst-virtual-machine tftpd[6987]: tftpd: serving file from /srv/tftp

I am sure that I miss something out, because my configuration I thing that is good. But the files in TFTP protocol is looked in the /svr/tftp. Why can it be happening that?
Because tftp configuration shows server_args = /tftpboot. I think that the TFTP protocol should search the files in that directory /tftpboot, doesn't it?

I have not more idea what wrong is, any help would be greatly appreciated.

-Regards

Hi,

I think that I have found the mistake. There is a file /etc/xinetd.d/tftpd with this configuration that overread the tftp configuration I suppose, but I am not sure.

# cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftpd
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /srv/tftp
}

Why can I do to solve this? Can I erase this file without problems or it is better to reconfigurated that like /etc/xinetd.d/tftp


service tftp
{
protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /tftpboot
disable = no
}

sorry for this question and the time that We lost in there.

-Regards
