how to check whether tftpd works ?

Hi

I have configured tfpt server to work as xinet.d service.
Below is conf file ftom /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

Code:

service tftp
{
	socket_type		= dgram
	protocol		= udp
	wait			= yes
	user			= root
	server			= /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
	server_args		= -s /tftpboot
	disable			= no
	per_source		= 11
	cps			= 100 2
	flags			= IPv4
}

I have to make sure this service works, I tried to 'telnet server_name 69' but I get below error :

Code:

[root@ldap2 xinetd.d]# telnet localhost 69
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

How can I verify that this service works ?

thx for help.

Erm, use it. Get a tftp client and get a file from it, e.g. solarwinds tftp on a windows laptop or the tftp client on linux. tftp is a UDP service, so telnet is no use.
