tftp

[Greg Conn]

I am trying to st up a server to run bcm utilities that are used to upgrade 3com routers. The tftp part works but when I try to save the configuration from certain switches, I get an error. The documentaion says to use "loose tftp". Has anyone heard of this phrase?

Hi Greg

Sounds like a translation problem:- perhapes "use TFTP" or "disconnect FTP login".

- out of context it is difficult to assist more on that phrase.

Have you tried the website of the documentation company?

Here are some system info from what Greg is refering to. I'm working on the host with him.

tftp is running:
# netstat -a | grep tftp
udp 0 0 *.tftp

inetd.conf entry:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/lbin/tftpd tftpd

Here is the passwd entry:
tftp:*:102:20:TFTP Server:/usr/tftpdir:/usr/bin/false

Perms on the /usr/tftpdir are set as follows:
drwxrwxrwx 3 tftp users 96 Jul 19 21:31 /usr/tftpdir/

These are the stats if that helps.
