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.
It worked great to transfer files from my computer to the SS5's netboot but transfering to or from the cisco didn't work..
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.
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/<config</A>> do not forget the extra / between server name and server path... /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/
