A. Introduction

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) server is used as a tool for transferring files associated with network devices like routers, switches.

B. Configuration

Install TFTP server:

[root@rzk-encoder25 ~]# yum install tftp-server

Install xinetd:

[root@rzk-encoder25 ~]# yum install xinetd

Configuring TFTP:

[root@rzk-encoder25 ~]# vim /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

content:

service tftp
{
disable = no
socket_type             = dgram
protocol                = udp
wait                    = yes
user                    = root
server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args             = -c -s /home/admin
per_source              = 11
