A TFTP server is usefull for PXE booting (network boot). It can be installed using
apt-get install tftpd-hpa
After installation we need to configure it. Modify the file /etc/default/tftpd-hpa accordingly. Mine looks like this:
# /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/var/lib/tftpboot"
TFTP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"
Last step is to restart the tftp service
sudo service tftpd-hpa restart
In a later blog entry we will put files to /var/lib/tftpboot so that we can boot over network. For that to work, additional software and configurations are necessary. To be conintued...
