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

[Khemera Lin]

Let me add, the default user for in.tftpd is nobody. So you may want to tell
it which user you want to run it as. Therefore, I would add the '-u
username' to the command, example:

/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -v -u root -s /tftpboot

Upon another recommendation I kill the xinetd process and ran the tftp
server with the following command line and everything works fine.  There
must be some configuration item I an missing with xinetd.


/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -l -v -v -s /tftpboot

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
