TFTP / Solution for a linux server

[skyvana]

hi,

I want to use a TFTP server ( like this for Windows https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000081258) but on Linux to upload a file to a switch. I tested several solutions (tftpd-hpa ...), but none works. 

Do you know a solutions who work?

Many thanks in advanced

Thank for your help !

It's difficult to read your responses because they are posted as images. Please don't do this 🙂

I use tftpd-hpa in our lab. I believe the problem you're experiencing is due to the block size configuration. Here's the config I use:

code:

$ cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
TFTP_USERNAME="nobody"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/media/TFTPsymlinks/"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="-c -B 16268 -l -s"

Note the -B 16268 option for max-block-size.

Hi Alex,
that's sounds strange:

• You can send and receive files from a windows tftp client to/from the Linux server
• You can send and receive files from the switch to/from the Windows server
• but You cannot send/receive files to/from the Linux server ???

I don't know how your network looks like but can you ping the linux server from the switch?
Are all systems in the same network (IP Address, Netmask, Gateway)?
Is it possible that an ACL is running on the switch?
Maybe you have found a firmware bug ???
Very mystic,

Axel
