RE: 5. Fedora Core 4 TFTP - Permission denied (Jay Isaacs)

["Jay Isaacs" <jay.isaacs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I’ve created the file with world writable permissions in the tftp directory.  I can do a get I the file but a put from another PC or a tftp copy from a Cisco device will not let me replace the file.

Jay,
tftp is not capable of creating new files. In order to put a file on a server you need to create an empty file first:
touch newfile.txt

Then you can put a real file with that name.

Hope that helps,

Leon

This should be a relatively simple task buy I just can’t get it working.   TFTP get from the server work fine but a put just results in a permission denied.  Any thought on this issue.  Here are my current configuration items.

 

 

drwxrwxrwx   2 nobody nobody  4096 Mar 30 09:20 tftpboot

 

[root@watcher /]# ll -r tftpboot/

total 8

-rwxrwxrwx  1 root   root 0 Mar 30 08:41 ls.txt

-rwxrwxrwx  1 nobody root 0 Mar 30 08:41 foo.txt

[root@watcher /]#

 

[root@watcher xinetd.d]# cat tftp

service tftp

{

        disable         = no

        socket_type     = dgram

        protocol        = udp

        wait            = yes

        user            = root

        server          = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd

        server_args     = -s -c -v -v -v /tftpboot

        per_source      = 11

        cps             = 100 2

        flags           = IPv4

}
