Does anyone know how to configure tftp to recieve and send files. I have 10 brand new Cisco switches which have to be configured, and I do not care to much about telnetting into everyone of them to change config manually... /Mattias -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
By default (if you've installed the tftp package - I believe it is part of netkitb) it is enabled. Create a directory called /tftpboot and verify the existance of the tftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf and the binary /usr/sbin/in.tftpd. Create the files (or at least 'touch' the name of the file). If you wish to copy a config from a Cisco to the tftp server, the file need to world writeable. If you only wish to copy the configs to the routers, then world readable is fine. That should be it. If you are running SuSE 6.3, make sure you apply the updates, as the stock tftp server that shipped with the 6.3 dist is broken. - Herman On Tue, 4 Apr 2000, Mattias Hermansson wrote: ->> ->>Does anyone know how to configure tftp to recieve and send files.

That's wrong. tftp is not enabled by default. You need to edit /etc/inetd.conf and send a SIGHUP to inetd.
the existance of the tftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf and the binary /usr/sbin/in.tftpd.

Since tftpd runs as nobody, you should make sure that nobody can read and write the files.

It worked great to transfer files from my computer to the SS5's netboot but transfering to or from the cisco didn't work..

I added the -c flag, but it didn't help...
That should be it. If you are running SuSE 6.3, make sure you apply the updates, as the stock tftp server that shipped with the 6.3 dist is broken.
Actually, that wasn't needed as I'm using 6.3AXP, but I think I tried
everything until... I got it working!
The problem wasn't in my computer, the switch didn't pass an initial / to
tftpd and was thus rejected. When I tried to correct this after typing
copy command it didn't work but when typing it on the commandprompt it
worked. Thus when copying configuration to/from cisco switch type:
copy system:/running-config t<A HREF="ftp://name.of.tftp.server//tftpboot/<config">ftp://name.of.tftp.server//tftpboot/
