A.1
SETTING UP A UNIX WORKSTATION AS A TFTP
SERVER
Due to variations between UNIX systems and individual configurations,
this section provides only GUIDELINES for configuring a UNIX
workstation to perform an image file download. The instructions include
command examples, where appropriate. Bold lettering in examples
indicates operator entry.
To set up a UNIX workstation, proceed as follows:
1. If you already have a /tftpboot directory, confirm the tftp setup of your
workstation as follows:
Request a process status and grep for tftpd (e.g., unix% ps-aux | grep
tftp).
The following information represents a typical output:
The term tftp -s , located at the end of the root string, indicates tftp is
active. If tftp is NOT running, only the grep process appears.
2. If you do NOT have a /tftpboot directory, than you must create one
(e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot).
3. Ensure that the /tftpboot directory is not owned (e.g., unix% chown
nobody tftpboot).
If unsure about how to properly configure your UNIX
workstation using these guidelines, contact your Systems
Administrator.
