.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Tftpd
|
|
is a server which supports the
|
|
Internet Trivial File Transfer
|
|
Protocol (\c
|
|
.Tn RFC 783).
|
|
The
|
|
.Tn TFTP
|
|
server operates
|
|
at the port indicated in the
|
|
.Ql tftp
|
|
service description;
|
|
see
|
|
.Xr services 5 .
|
|
The server is normally started by
|
|
.Xr inetd 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The use of
|
|
.Xr tftp 1
|
|
does not require an account or password on the remote system.
|
|
Due to the lack of authentication information,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will allow only publicly readable files to be
|
|
accessed.
|
|
Files containing the string ``/\|\fB.\|.\fP\|/'' or starting with
|
|
``\|\fB.\|.\fP\|/'' are not allowed.
|
|
Files may be written only if they already exist and are publicly writable.
|
|
Note that this extends the concept of
|
|
.Dq public
|
|
to include
|
|
all users on all hosts that can be reached through the network;
|
|
this may not be appropriate on all systems, and its implications
|
|
should be considered before enabling tftp service.
|
|
The server should have the user ID with the lowest possible privilege.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Access to files may be restricted by invoking
|
|
.Nm
|
|
with a list of directories by including up to 20 pathnames
|
|
as server program arguments in
|
|
.Pa /etc/inetd.conf .
|
|
In this case access is restricted to files whose
|
|
names are prefixed by the one of the given directories.
|
|
The given directories are also treated as a search path for
|
|
relative filename requests.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The chroot option provides additional security by restricting access
|
|
of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to only a chroot'd file system. This is useful when moving
|
|
from an OS that supported
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
as a boot server. Because chroot is restricted to root, you must run
|
|
.Nm
|
|
as root. However, if you chroot, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will set its user id to nobody.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Log all requests using
|
|
.Xr syslog 3
|
|
with the facility of LOG_FTP. Note: Logging of LOG_FTP messages
|
|
will also need to be enabled in the syslog configuration file
|
|
.Xr syslog.conf 5 .
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Suppress negative acknowledgement of requests for nonexistent
|
|
relative filenames.
|
|
.It Fl s Ar directory
|
|
Cause
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to chroot to
|
|
.Pa directory
|
|
before accepting commands. In addition, the user id is set to
|
|
nobody.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If you are not running
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
no user id change will be
|
|
attempted. You should not run
|
|
.Nm
|
|
as root unless you are using
|
|
.Fl s .
