atftp (a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol) atftp is a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol that implements RFCs 1350, 2090, 2347, 2348, and 2349. The server is multi-threaded and the client presents a friendly interface using libreadline. The atftpd server supports regular expressions, e.g. to serve the same files to a group of hosts whose hostnames/IDs match a pattern. Multicast is also supported (though experimental). Slackware-specific info: This build doesn't conflict with Slackware's tftp-hpa package. To run an atftp service via inetd, edit /etc/inetd.conf, find the line for tftp, make sure it's commented out, and add this line below it: tftp dgram udp wait nobody /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/atftpd /tftpboot You may add other arguments to the above, as needed (see atftpd(8)). Don't forget to restart inetd after editing its config (killall -HUP inetd should do). Note: The FAQ supplied with atftp says to use /usr/sbin/in.tftpd. With this build of atftp, that's incorrect: in.tftpd is still the regular Slackware TFTP daemon. Unlike stock in.tftpd, atftp supports tcpwrappers, so you may have to add lines to /etc/hosts.allow and/or /etc/hosts.deny. The service name to use is "in.tftpd", *not* "atftpd" If you want to run atftpd as a standalone daemon (not via inetd), the easiest way to do this would be to add a line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, like so: /usr/sbin/atftpd --daemon /tftpboot ...with whatever other options seem useful (--pidfile, for instance).
