2392.0. "tftp and hubloader on Unix " by TLSE01::SELLES (Pierre-Jean - Toulouse -France) Mon Jun 19 1995 08:22



	it could be a good idea to add to the release notes of hubloader
on UNix how to setup tftp server ; 

	in a customer situtation , we had to edit the /etc/tftptab file 
to add the files we wanted to download ( dmhub400.bin etc... ) 

	of course it looks easy but a mention in the release notes 
can speed up the setup of hubloader 

	regards PJ

    Yes, I will add some more detail to the release notes.
    
    What you need to do to setup a TFTP Server on UNIX systems is either:
    
    1)  Edit /etc/inetd.conf:  
    		Uncomment out the line for tftp and set the file path at 
    		the end of this line to the Firmware Path, this is defined 
    		in the HUBWATCH_LOAD env. variable. 
    		Restart the inetd, or reboot the system.
    		This works as long as the files are publicly readable,
    		and they are found in the HUBWATCH_LOAD path.
    
    2)  If you are transferring files that are not publicly readable or not
    	in the directories listed on the command line, you must make certain 
    	that those files are listed in the /etc/tftptab file.
