Set Up a TFTP Server on Linux

[Lyric]

I have recently migrated to Linux or hesitate to do so, but looking desperately to find the right software to install and configure a TFTP server. We chose Tttp-hpa, because of all similar software, it is the most complete. I have recently migrated to Linux or hesitate to do so, but looking desperately to find the right software to install and configure a server simply TFTPD. I need to set up TFTP Server on Linux. Please help.

Initially, as with any installation, open a console and gain administrative rights to make an install tftpd. To do this, open the terminal and you type:

# sudo su then input the password

We will now proceed with the installation of deposits tftpd:
Now add the public key of the deposit. The procedure is as follows:
gpg - keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com - recv-key VOTRECLEF
gpg - export - armor VOTRECLEF> tftpd.pgp

$ Sudo apt-key add tftpd.pgp

To install tftpd now issue in the terminal:
aptitude update;
aptitude install tftpd
To install and configure a TFTP server, you just now starting Tftp-hpa is the menu Applications => System Tools => tftp-hpa, or by typing ALT + F2 then Tftp-hpa, or by opening a terminal and Tftp-hpa typing.

If you were familiar with its Windows equivalent, you will find no problem. Otherwise, you will need help from the Help menu, available after running tftpd. These cards can be read as little guide to find the equivalent of each of your favorite Windows software under "luzayi" ubuntu or any linux. You can see other fact sheets or browse by using the search engine. The structure of the installation guide will always be the same, so you can easily and quickly familiarize yourself with the installation process and you have to worry about than finding the right software to meet your need. You can learn Linux from a specialist, search on google "linux master training" for example.

TFTP (For Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simplified protocol for transferring files. It operates on UDP port 69, instead of FTP which uses TCP and its port 21. The use of UDP protocol, "unreliable" means that the client and server must manage themselves a possible packet loss. The main simplifications visible from the TFTP FTP is that it does not support the listing of files, and does not have mechanisms for authentication, or encryption. He must know in advance the name of the file you want to retrieve. Similarly, no notion of read / write is available as standard.

Now that customers know how to find the tftp server, it is time to install

# Yum install tftp-server

As tftp is started by xinetd, you must authorize the latter to start tftp

chkconfig tftp it

and ensure quarantined turns and takes into account the new configuration

# Service xinetd restart

The first t in tfpt means trivial, and indeed the tftp configuration is trivial: there is nothing to do. This service will provide customers with the files they require by taking them in / tftpboot /. Therefore populate this directory. A simple

# Yum install system-config-netboot

will do it for us.
