Install tftp onto the Linux host computer

For CentOS I used yum

yum install tftp
yum install tftp-server

then I looked in the file

/etc/xinitd.d/tftp
  1. default: off
  2. description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
  3. protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
  4. workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
  5. and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp

{

       socket_type             = dgram
       protocol                = udp
       wait                    = yes
       user                    = root
       server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
       server_args             = -s /tftpboot
       disable                 = yes
       per_source              = 11
       cps                     = 100 2
       flags                   = IPv4

}

to see how tftp was configured by default. The file tell me that the tftp files should be located in the subdirectory

/tftpboot


turn the server on

/sbin/chkconfig tftp on

Set up rsh
