I have ftp running on a Windows 7 laptop (I see the process started when I enter ftp at the console window) and the tftp on the embedded processor (AT91SAM9260) using busybox. I have never used the busybox Linux utility so I am not sure if it is setup correctly. The eth0 for Linux is 192.168.168.32 and the IP of the laptop is 192.168.168.20 and they both can ping each other.
I cd to the directory containing the file I want to send to the laptop, then I enter: "#tftp -p -r <filename> 192.168.168.20" and then after a delay I get "#tftp: timeout". I also used -p -l with the same results.
The laptop has C:\ shared for everyone and the firewall is OFF.
The real problem is I need to ftp from the laptop to the Linux processor and visa-versa. I tried ssh using PuTTY and I get no connection.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Not sure tftp and ftp work together. What do you wish to use? If you just need a one time thing then maybe tftp32 will be fine.

tftp is usually get and put.

Share is samba/cifs

Thanks.
I am still trying to figure out Linux BusyBox it seems a lot of normal Linux commands are not present.
I have seen reference to "sudo apt-get install cifs-utils", but the command line complains about sudo and apt-get.

Busybox is a sort of compiled set of tools. Minimal installs tend to use it. The version of the tools within each build of busybox may be different. The tools(programs) may have different options. A builder of one busybox build may strip everything to the bone in order to match space.

You normally can't easily add to an existing busybox. You may have an option to add a program in. cifs/samba I'd think is unlikely to be built into most instances of busybox.

Thanks. I need to study up on what I have for busybox.

The question is more of what you are trying to do rather than what busybox is.

Busybox is just a collection of programs glomed together. Within your busybox you should have maybe 20 programs or so. Each of those programs have versions. Each of the version may have unique builds.

I'd think that you could use tftp or ftp assuming ports/firewalls are open and you have proper permissions. If I only needed a few files from windows and I knew I had TFTP working on linux I'd use it. Remember that TFTP isn't that reliable. It doesn't easily let you see the files on server. (there is I think a python way) TFTP32 is a bone simple server that can be used to serve more than simple tftp.

You should be able to test each use on windows 7. FTP to your local server. Some browsers work OK for ftp too. Some file managers work. Some things like putty work.

FTP is more advanced but you may not need it.

Thank You for the info. I will be digging into it this weekend.

Found tftpd32 for Windows and configured as a server with the Linux bard as a client and it works! Thanks much.
