Is there any info about this type tftp daemon ?
Hi, Friends I am a FreeBSD OS user. I am using one FreeBSD box as my TFTP server. But with a inconventient problem: Everytime, before I send file to this server, I have to do the following process on this server: /usr/tftpboot# touch -config /usr/tftpboot# chmod 666 -config I hope to omit this process, so if anyone knows where I can get a TFTP daemon which can allow me to omit above inconvenience ?

This indicates the tftpd daemon does not have write permission to /usr/tftpboot. This is of course a potential security hole because tftp does not authenticate, so you're giving everyone who can connect to your tftpd the permission to write/overwrite files into that directory.

Kris I know that on some old Sun systems I had to manage, I had to touch filename and make sure it was writable before we could get files to it. In other words, make a 0 length file of the name of the file you are trying to tftp to the server first, and when you do the transfer it will overwrite it. Might be the same issue?

Taken from the man page: Files can be written only if they already exist and are publicly writable. --Chris snip I know that on some old Sun systems I had to manage, I had to touch filename and make sure it was writable before we could get files to it.
