Using the 1.2.13 Slackware distribution, how do I set up the TFTPD server? &nbsp;I have created a user, TFTP, created the directory /TFTPBOOT, TFTP has 777 access to it as does the group guest.<br />
I use touch to create the file in the directory, verify ownership and attribute, then have the client (cisco router) send the file.<br />

Using the 1.2.13 Slackware distribution, how do I set up the TFTPD server?  I have created a user, TFTP, created the directory /TFTPBOOT, TFTP has 777 access to it as does the group guest.
I use touch to create the file in the directory, verify ownership and attribute, then have the client (cisco router) send the file.
The server always kicks back with an access violation.
In /etc/inetd.conf I have used the lines:
tftp   dgram   udp     wait    tftp    /usr/sbin/in.tftpd      /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /tftpboot
           and
tftp    dgram   udp     wait    tftp    /usr/sbin/tcpd  /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /tftpboot

with the same results.  The answer is not in the source distribution and I cannot find a MAN page for tftpd anywhere.


TFTPD Configuration

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
