How to get tftpd (debian) to work

[mainstreetexpress]

Hi
I have installed tftpd using apt-get. My question is how to get it working as I cannot find anything on how to do this

From the inetd.conf seems to be ok I think

#:BOOT: Tftp service is provided primarily for booting. Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."
tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /boot

And from the netstat port seems to be active

Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address
udp 0 0 *:tftp *:*


I am a complete newbie with servers so I don't really know what to look for; anyone help?

Cheers

Mark

Perhaps inetd wasn't started (from root)?
Test with

ps -C inetd

if it's already running

killall -HUP inetd

to restart it, else a simple inetd should work.

What do you want to do? What's the problem?

From the command line do:

tftp localhost
get <some-file>
