<\/div>\n
First, let’s install all the necessary packages:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp -y\r\n<\/pre>\nNext, we need to create a configuration file:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo nano \/etc\/xinetd.d\/tftp\r\n<\/pre>\nPut the following content into the file.<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nservice tftp\r\n{\r\n protocol = udp\r\n port = 69\r\n socket_type = dgram\r\n wait = yes\r\n user = nobody\r\n server = \/usr\/sbin\/in.tftpd\r\n server_args = var\/lib\/tftpboot -s\r\n disable = no\r\n}\r\n<\/pre>\nIn the server_args, I have var\/lib\/tftpboot<\/strong>, which represents the location of the tftp root, i.e., \/var\/lib\/tftpboot<\/strong>. Notice that I skip the root \/.<\/p>\nNow let’s change the ownership of the directory:<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\nsudo mkdir \/var\/lib\/tftpboot\r\nsudo chown -R nobody:nobody \/var\/lib\/tftpboot\r\nsudo chmod -R 777 \/var\/lib\/tftpboot\r\n<\/pre>\nand start the TFTP service:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo service xinetd stop\r\nsudo service xinetd start\r\n<\/pre>\nVerify the TFTP is running correctly or not:<\/p>\n
\r\nnetstat -na | grep LIST | grep 69\r\n<\/pre>\nYou should see something like this:<\/p>\n
\r\ntcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:69 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/p>\n
Test: Upload a file to TFTP Server<\/h2>\n
Now let’s test the TFTP server by logging into the server first:<\/p>\n
\r\ntftp localhost\r\n<\/pre>\nand upload a file:<\/p>\n
\r\ntftp> put myfile.jpg\r\nSent 56733279 bytes in 5.7 seconds\r\n<\/pre>\nQuit:<\/p>\n
\r\nq\r\n<\/pre>\nMake sure that file has been uploaded:<\/p>\n
\r\nls -l \/var\/lib\/tftpboot\r\n<\/pre>\nTest: Download a file from TFTP Server<\/h2>\n
Now, let’s go to a different directory and download the file we just upload.<\/p>\n
\r\ncd some_other_directory\r\n<\/pre>\nand log in to the tftp server again:<\/p>\n
\r\ntftp localhost\r\n<\/pre>\nand get the file:<\/p>\n
\r\ntftp> get myfile.jpg\r\nReceived 56733279 bytes in 5.7 seconds\r\n<\/pre>\nYou are done.<\/p>\n
Troubleshooting (e.g., Error code 2: Access violation)<\/h2>\n
If you see a message like: Error code 2: Access violation<\/strong><\/p>\nMake sure that you:
\n– Follow the exact procedure in this tutorial
\n– Make sure that the tftp is started with -s flag.
\n– Check the permission of the directory, i.e., 777
\n– After you’ve made any changes to the TFTP configuration, make sure that you stop and start the inet service again.
\n– Don’t forget to quit tftp before retrying the command.<\/p>\n
That’s it!<\/p>\n
Enjoy TFTP.<\/p>\n
