We are using Ubuntu as tftp client to demonestrate tftp client usecase, normally Ubuntu is used as tftp server and your embedded target is used as tftp client, so same below commands will also work on embedded target tftp client. Please note the point that you need to manually create the file backup_myrouter in /tftpboot before you start the copy operation or else you will get a error message saying file not found.Following is the procedure which will guide you for setting up the Linux PC as a tftp client. Say i want to take the running configuration from the router.Īddress or name of remote host ? 192.168.1.100ĭestination filename ? backup_myrouterġ030 bytes copied in 2.489 secs (395 bytes/sec) Imagine you have a router with ip 192.168.1.1 and the ip of our tftp server is 192.168.1.100 Step 6:- Taking backup from a network device You should see something like 0.0.0.0:69 LISTEN or else restart the xineted service Step 5:- checking tftp service is running #/etc/init.d/xinetd start (start tftp service through xinetd) #chown -R nobody /tftpboot (making nobody as the owner of the directory) #chmod -R 777 /tftpboot (giving read write permissions for all users and group) Step 4:- Create a tftp directory where you will hold the tftp backups of network devices.I m using root directory for the same and calling it as tftpboot Step 3: – Add the below contents to this file Step2:- Create one file with name tftp under /etc/xinetd.d
Step 1 : – Install tftp and other related packages on the system You needs to be root or a user with sudo privilege
Here are the steps for setting up TFTP Server for network devices on Linux(For me Ubuntu).But for all the UNIX/Linux flavors it will be the same almost 🙂
