Installing and Testing TFTPD Server in Ubuntu
- Install following packages.
sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp
- Create /etc/xinetd.d/tftp and put this entry
service tftp
{
protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /tftpboot
disable = no
}
- Create a folder /tftpboot this should match whatever you gave in server_args. mostly it will be tftpboot
sudo mkdir /tftpboot sudo chmod -R 777 /tftpboot sudo chown -R nobody /tftpboot
- Restart the xinetd service
sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd stop sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start
Now our tftp server is up and running.
Testing our tftp server
- Create a file named test.txt with some content in /tftpboot path of the tftp server
- Obtain the ip address of the tftp server using ifconfig command
- Now in some other system follow the following steps.
tftp "ipServerTftp tftp> get test Sent 159 bytes in 0.0 seconds tftp> quit
