Thanks a lot for you segestions.
I edited the configuration file '/etc/xinetd.d/tftp'
& now it has:
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -u nobody -s /tftpboot
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}after that I issued the following command to restart the tftp server:
$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
Then from my tftp client (target board running YAMON) issued the command to get a file using tftp:
YAMON> load tftp://4.42.102.5/vmlinux.rec About to load tftp://4.42.102.5/vmlinux.rec Press Ctrl-C to break Error : TFTP READ-REQ timeout ERROR Hint : Check TFTP-server is up and running
where: vmlinux.rec is in /tftpboot on the PC host 4.42.102.5 is the IP of my host PC running Redhat Linux 9 4.42.102.6 is the IP of Target board running YAMON (TFTP client)
Connection:
Target running YAMON <--> hub port - Ethernet HUB - hub port <--> PC running RH Linux 9
These are the only 2 machines physically connected in the network.
Ping works from either side.
Questions:
1. Is the network set-up OK for tftp (its a peer-to-peer connection)?
2. The TFTP status using 'redhat-config-services' shows xinetd. Is this too advanced for the YAMON - Compatibility issue?
3. Do I need to reboot RH Linux for the configuration to take effect?
4. Do you find anything missing or wrong.
Please advice me why I am not able to do tftp downloads.
Thanks, -Mike.

I think this is the modern way to do it.
chkconfig tftp on
RHL uses xinetd. Here is my working configuration from 7.x: [root@xxxxxx root]# cat /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 = -r blksize -s /tftpboot } [root@xxxxxx root]#
