TFTP keeps timing out

Hello,

I have installed TFTP Server on CentOS 5.1 but I'm having a problem getting it to work. It keeps timing out.

PACKAGES INSTALLED:
xinetd tftp tftp-server

chkconfig on xinetd
chkconfig on tftp

service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd: [ OK ]
Starting xinetd: [ OK ]
.
.

TFTP CONFIG:

Code:

[root@ ~ tftpboot]# less /etc/xinetd.d/tftp 

# default: off

# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \

#      protocol.  The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \

#      workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \

#      and to start the installation process for some operating systems.

service tftp

{

        disable = no

        socket_type            = dgram

        protocol                = udp

        wait                    = yes

        user                    = root

        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd

        server_args            = -s /tftpboot -u root -c

        per_source              = 11

        cps                    = 100 2

        flags                  = IPv4

}

FIREWALL SETTINGS:

Quote:

.
.
ACCEPT tcp -- 0-224-93-208.~ .net/22 anywhere tcp state NEW
ACCEPT udp -- 0-224-93-208. ~ .net/22 anywhere udp dpt:tftp state NEW

Source server and Destination server are both on the same subnet (from iptables listing)!

Quote:

[root@ ~ Desktop]# tftp -v 208.93.224.250 -c put test.txt
Connected to 208.93.224.250 (208.93.224.250), port 69
putting test.txt to 208.93.224.250:test.txt [netascii]
Transfer timed out.

After the source server says timed out. I checked the destination server (/tftpboot) and I have *part* of the file, but with no data in the file. Could someone assist me on how to fix this? Thank you.

I have had the same problem (on my Centos 5.3) some time ago, then I found that I had to install the hpa version. I downloaded tftp-hpa-5.0.tar.gz from http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/, I compiled using

Code:

./configure --without-tcpwrappers --without-ipv6

then it worked like a bomb! Hope this helps.

Thank you. I downloaded the same version, but I don't think it's installing properly. Is this version compatible with CentOS 5.1? I'm still having the same problem with TFTP.

hi, did you get this working after all? I've got the same problem and am struggling to find a decent solution.
