Syslinux - Apr 2003 - Please help: how to enable tftp-hpa (0.33) for large file

Hi:

I compiled and run tftp-hpa-0.33 on my Solaris 2.7
but it does not support file size larger than 16MB.
The tftpd time out when 16MB of file is transfered.

Can anyone offer a hint for how to enable tftp-hpa
to support large file size ?

Very appreciate

I have seen this problem on Solaris 7 as well, and it seems to have 
something to do with ntohs() returning a signed number (which is wrong).

You may want to try to compile with -Dntohs='(unsigned short)ntohs' and 
see what happens.

	-hpa

I have released tftp-hpa-0.34.  The only difference versus 0.33 is some 
code cleanups, but since those code cleanups seem to fix the problem 
with Solaris 7 and gcc I figure it is worth a release.

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp/tftp-hpa-0.34.tar.gz

	-hpa

Peter:

Excellent news. release 0.34 fixes the problem. Now I can even get/put
a 149MB file.

Thank you so much, you are the man.
