tftp errors

[Kwan_1]

Hi,

Appreciate if someone could tell me when tftp errors occur, can I get any error codes that provides specific error details? currently I'm getting a 'tftp error' in response.

Where can I investigate further regarding this matter.

Thank you very much

Hi,

What is the exact error number you are getting?
Is there something in syslog?

Hi,

since TFTP is really simple, not that many conditions must be met to make it work:
- the starting-directory must be passed to the daemon (by using the home-directory of user "tftp" or with option "-D")
- the file to be read must have general read permission (as must all the directories in its path, plus those need x=changedir permissions)
- the file to be writen must exist already and have general write permission (and all the direcories in its path need read and x=changedir permissions)

HTH,
