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). |
