TFTP Server For Linux

TFTP Server is a multi-threaded TFTP server, which means any number of clients can connect simultaneously.

TFTP Server supports tsize, blksize, and interval options, supports PXE boot, and can be run standalone or as a daemon.

This server runs in Debug Mode (with flag -v) or as Service (without any flag). Please expand the .gz file to an directory, using shell, goto that directory, edit tftpserver.ini file (just specify home dir) and give following command as root:-

tftpserver#./tftpserver -v

You will see following results:-

Ready...

Now open one more shell and give following commands:-

$tftp tftp>connect localhost tftp>get [some file name in home dir] Received 13112 bytes in 0.0 seconds

and on server you may see client 127.0.0.1:xxxxx file ...... # blocks served

This program runs in two modes:-

a) Debug Mode (using -v argument) b) Daemon (using no argument)

This program should be setup to start automatically modifying boot scripts /etc/rc.d/rc.local file or /etc/inittab file. Never include -v (verbatim flag) while running as Daemon from these scripts.

You need home directory to be set in tftpserver.ini file, you can comment other parameters like blksize and interval.

Just remove the program directory. You should also remove entries from initialize scripts of your machine.
