TFTP Service in hp-ux

[Venkat_11]

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

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

when i ran
tftp localhost
usxsl003:root# tftp localhost
tftp>
i am getting the following output. does it mean the services are started.????

Thanks for every body who are trying to resolve my problem.

Hi Robert,

The link which you posted is not opening.

Thanks for your reply

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

I got output like this.
Hope its seems working fine.
Thanks for everybisy who posted.
