basic setup of tftp to embeded linux running busybox

edit

hi there,

i'm stumped by this and maybe you folks can help out I hope.

I have a lenovo x60 (with docking station). I'm running fedora 18

[localhost tftpboot]$ cat /etc/redhat-release Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) [@localhost tftpboot]$ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 3.9.3-201.fc18.x8664 #1 SMP Tue May 21 17:02:24 UTC 2013 x8664 x8664 x8664 GNU/Linux

I installed tftp by using yum install tftp / xinetd

I modified the tftp entry inxinetd,

    service tftp
{
    socket_type     = dgram
    protocol        = udp
    wait            = yes
    user            = root
    server          = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
    server_args     = -s /tftpboot
    disable         = no
    per_source      = 11
    cps         = 100 2
    flags           = IPv4
}

I try and use localhost to get a file called "HIYA" that's located in /tftpboot

      File: ‘/tftpboot/HIYA’
  Size: 5           Blocks: 8          IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 803h/2051d  Inode: 2228226     Links: 1
Access: (0777/-rwxrwxrwx)  Uid: ( 1000/cgadmin)   Gid: ( 1000/cgadmin)
Context: unconfined_u:object_r:default_t:s0

 Birth: -

it's just ascii txt, I echo "HIYA" into the file and chmod to 777 (not certain if this is needed but anyway)

I get

   @localhost tftpboot]$ tftp
(to) localhost
tftp> trace
Packet tracing on.
tftp> verbose
Verbose mode on.
tftp> get
(files) HIYA
getting from localhost:HIYA to HIYA [netascii]

sent RRQ <file=HIYA, mode=netascii>

sent RRQ <file=HIYA, mode=netascii>
Transfer timed out.

always. this has been a struggle for me for a while.

@localhost tftpboot]$ rpm -qa | grep tftp
