TFTP Service in hp-ux

Venkat_11 — Wed, 19 Oct 2005 13:44:14 GMT

I want to enable tftp services in my hp server.
I already checked /etc/inetd.conf file and uncommented the lines
# When needed by intermec
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
/var/opt/intermec\
/opt/ignite\
/var/opt/ignite

# Below commented out from Ignite-UX install. reenable to use
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd\
/opt/ignite\
/var/opt/ignite

and ran
/etc/inetd -c and /usr/sbin/inetd -c
and after that if i use
telnet localhost 69
its not working.
Can somebodyhelp me in fixing this one.

Thanks in Advance
Venkat

check your /etc/services file and make sure you have a tftp service enabled and listening on port 69

also if you have /var/adm/intd.sec file make sure tftp connections were not totally disbled for all IP address ranges.

if both of the above is okay, instead of inetd -c command, run these two:

/usr/sbin/inetd -k
/usr/sbin/inetd -l

I don't think you can telnet to the tftp port. TFTP uses tcp. What happens when you run:
tftp localhost

Sorry, I hit the send before I finished----

I don't think you can telnet to the tftp port. Telnet uses tcp & TFTP uses udp.

What happens when you run:
tftp localhost

at the tftp> prompt type status and hit enter

if you see something like "Connected to localhost." it means that your tftp port is listening and you are in good shape
