I've been trying to build a TFTP server on a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 build for a number of weeks using articles that I've found on-line, but all my attempts seem to fail as the TFTP server that I've installed seems not to be responding. It doesn't matter if I GET or PUT, I always get a timeout error.
The most recent articles that I've tried are:
- How do I install and run a TFTP server?
- http://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/100006-install-and-configure-tftp-under-ubuntu-14-04
Both of these have been unsuccessful, each time with the TFTP client complaining of a timeout error.
I've added (or at least I think I have) rules to the UFW and iptables to allow access to UDP port 69, but without any success.
I have been building my base Ubuntu 14.04 OS from the mini.iso file I've downloaded from the Ubuntu download pages on to a VirtualBox VM (ver 4.3.8 r92456) running on my Win7 pro machine. No additional packages were installed during the initial build, but I have installed SSH and NTP (both of which appear to be working) post initial build. The TFTP client is running from my Win7 machine and the Ubuntu machine has a static IP address.
The connection is being made from a remote TFTP client on my Win7 machine.
