Debian Linux tftp server configuration procedure Analysis

Although we have explained a lot about the settings of the tftp server, we have not explained much about the specific configurations of a system version. Here we will explain the configuration of the Debian Linux tftp server. My system environment is debian 5.0.

First, install the tftp client and server, because debian5.0 is not installed by default.

Sudo apt-get install tftp tftpd

Then, install xinetd, because openbsd-inetd is used by default, and tftp requires the support of the network management background program xinetd.

Sudo apt-get install xinetd

Debian Linux tftp server configuration inetd. conf

Delete some comments about tftp in/etc/inetd. conf:

 
 

  
  
#: BOOT: TFTP service is provided primarily for booting. Most sites
  
  
 
  
  
# Run this only on machines acting as "boot servers ."
  
  
 
  
  
# Tftp dgram udp wait nobody/usr/sbin/tcpd/usr/sbin/in. tftpd/home/creater/image # Delete the note of this sentence
 
 

Here,/home/creater/image is the directory of the file to be downloaded.

Next, create a tftp file under/etc/xinetd. d:

 
 

  
  
sudo vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 
 
 

Add the following content to Debian Linux tftp Server Configuration:

 
 

  
  
Service tftp
  
  
 
  
  
{
  
  
 
  
  
Socket_type = dgram
  
  
 
  
  
Protocol = udp
  
  
 
  
  
Wait = yes
  
  
 
  
  
User = root
  
  
 
  
  
Server =/usr/sbin/in. tftpd
  
  
 
  
  
Server_args =-s/home/creater/image # Replace it with your directory. Pay attention to the permissions.
  
  
 
  
  
Disable = no
  
  
 
  
  
Per_source = 11
  
  
 
  
  
Cps = 1002
  
  
 
  
  
Flags = IPv4
  
  
 
  
  
}
 
 

Restart xinetd:

 
 

  
  
sudo  /etc/init.d/xinetd  reload  
  
  
 
  
  
sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd   restart  
 
 

Test:

 
 

  
  
Tftp localhost
  
  
 
  
  
Tftp> get u-boot.bin # A u-boot.bin at the beginning under the image
  
  
 
  
  
Received 97353 bytes in 0.1 seconds
 
 

By now, the configuration of the Debian Linux tftp server has been completed.
