===== Setting up TFTP on Ubuntu =====

Taken from [[http://www.davidsudjiman.info/?p=93]].

1. Install tftpd and related packages.

  $ sudo apt-get install xinetd tftpd tftp

2. 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     = -s /tftpboot
  disable         = no
  }

3. Make /tftpboot directory

  $ sudo mkdir /tftpboot
  $ sudo chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
  $ sudo chown -R nobody /tftpboot

4. Start tftpd through xinetd

  $ sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd start

5. Testing. Tranfering file hda.txt from 192.168.1.100 (Client using tftp) to 192.168.1.100 (Server 192.168.1.100). Get an example file to transfer (eg. hda.txt)

  $ touch /tftpboot/hda.txt
  $ chmod 777 /tftpboot/hda.txt
  $ ls -l /tftpboot/
  total 0
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 davids davids 0 2006-03-27 23:04 hda.txt
  $ tftp 192.168.1.100
  tftp> put hda.txt
  Sent 722 bytes in 0.0 seconds
  tftp> quit
  $ ls -l /tftpboot/
  total 4
  -rwxrwxrwx  1 davids davids 707 2006-03-27 23:07 hda.txt
