Hello,
I am trying to flash new firmware into a router using TFTP-HPA. I am
running Ubuntu 14.04 on a flash drive and still learning how to use
Linux. I have also installed XINETD.D
In one of the README files that comes with TFTP-HPA it said not to
call it using tptp.
Here are the instructions I'm trying to follow:
cd /tmp ; tftp -gl aa 192.168.0.9; sh aa
I do not know what tftp server was used by the person that wrote
these commands and cannot seem to get a password to post on board on
which they were posted.
Can you tell me how I should modify these commands?
John

Thank you for the info Groeten. I have the TFTPD-HPA server address set to 192.168.1.9:69 I am unable to ping this address and I wonder if the server address should be the same as the network interface card (ethernet card) I am using. The files I want to upload are in /srv/tftpboot, so I'm not sure why the command cd /tmp was used.

Still having trouble:>> cd /tmp >> ping -c 3 192.168.0.9 # check if TFTP server respons on ping >> tftp 192.168.0.9 # connect to TFTP server, you should get a new promptOK to here using 192.168.1.9 for NIC eth(0) and tftpd server 192.168.1.9 New prompt is tftp>>> get aaThis times out and returns to tftp> Unable to return to shell using exit command>> exit >> # you shold be back in shell prompt >> cat aa # check the aa script >> cat aa # double check >> sh aa # the aa script comes alive ...The router (client) is on eth(0) and I can connect to it using Firefox 192.168.1.1, but router page is all in Chinese language which I don't understand. That is why I want to use tftp to flash new firmware to the router: http://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wr703n#tftp_install_necessary_on_v17_hardware Address in the openWRT article have all been changed to 192.168.1.9 (server) and 192.168.1.1 target PC is Ubuntu 14.04 on flash drive with xinetd and tftp-hpa What am I doing incorrectly?
