Setting Up a TFTP Server

AN/ANH and ARN routers need a network connection to a TFTP server to
complete EZ-Install, Netboot, or Directed Netboot. You configure a UNIX
workstation as a TFTP server by:
•
•
•

Setting Up TFTPD

When you set up the TFTPD server on a UNIX workstation, you can allow TFTP
access to the root directory and any subdirectory, or restrict TFTP access to a
specified directory or path name.
Allowing TFTP access to all directories is the simpler procedure. Specifying a
directory provides security, but requires either keeping the startup files in the
specified directory or creating a link to each path name.

Providing TFTP Access to All Directories

To provide TFTP access to files in the root (/) directory and all subdirectories,
insert the appropriate line for your operating system in the /etc/inetd.conf file.
Find the sample line for your operating system in
