====== Supporting broken TFTP clients with tftpd-hpa ====== tftpd-hpa can easily be configured to support broken TFTP clients by using a remap file. Verify that your TFTP server supports a remap file by typing /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -V You should see output such as [root@dolphin ~]# /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -V tftp-hpa 0.40, with remap, with tcpwrappers If the "with remap" text is **not** present, then you need to rebuild your TFTP server with remapping support before proceeding. Create the file ///etc/tftpd.map// containing # Convert backslashes to slashes rg \\ / Edit //etc/xinetd.d/tftp// and append -m /etc/tftp.map to the //server_args// line. Your modified ///etc/xinetd.d/tftp// file should look something like service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /var/lib/tftpboot -m /etc/tftpd.map } Kill off any existing tftpd processes and restart xinetd: killall tftpd killall in.tftpd /etc/init.d/xinetd restart The TFTP server should now accept paths using either the usual forward slash (/) or a backslash (\) as a path separator.
