How to enable TFTP services on Nodegrid

To enable the TFTP server, you need to edit the tftpd configuration file as it is disabled by default. (as root)

vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftpd

And change the disable attribute to “no”:

service tftp
{
disable = yes                    <<<==== change this to no
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
flags = IPv6
wait = yes
user = root
group = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /var/opt/tftpboot
}

Then restart the Xinet Daemon with:

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

NOTE:
  1. The root TFTP folder in under: /var/opt/tftpboot
  2. If you want different path for the root folder such as location on secondary disk, then modify the line that begins with 'server_args' and specify your custom path that must exist.
Test:

Start your TFTP Client:
Connect to the IP address of the TFTP server
Get the file (include the file name!)
