SETTING UP A UNIX WORKSTATION AS A TFTP
SERVER
Due to variations between UNIX systems and individual configurations,
this section provides only GUIDELINES for configuring a UNIX
workstation to perform an image file download. The instructions include
command examples, where appropriate. Bold lettering in examples
indicates operator entry.
Downloading an image file requires setting up your UNIX workstation as
a TFTP server.
Use the following steps to set up a UNIX workstation:
1. If you already have a /tftpboot directory, confirm the TFTP setup of
your workstation as follows:
Request a process status and grep for TFTP
(e.g., unix% netstat -a | grep tftp).
The following information represents a typical output:
user
161 7.7 1.2 32 184 p3 S 12:00
grep tftp
root
87 0.0 0.9 48 136 ? S 11:05
tftp -s
The term tftp -s, located at the end of the root string, indicates TFTP is
active. If TFTP is NOT running, only the grep process appears.
2. If you do NOT have a /tftpboot directory, then create one
(e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot).

workstation using these guidelines, contact your Systems
Administrator.
