NAME
tftpd
- IPv4 Trivial File Transfer Protocol server
SYNOPSIS
in.tftpd
[options...]
directory...
DESCRIPTION
tftpd
is a server for the IPv4 Trivial File Transfer Protocol. The TFTP
protocol is extensively used to support remote booting of diskless
devices. The server is normally started by
inetd,
but can also run standalone.
OPTIONS
-l
Run the server in standalone (listen) mode, rather than run from
inetd.
In listen mode, the
-t
option is ignored, and the
-a
option can be used to specify a specific local address or port to
listen to.
-a[address][:port]
Specify a specific
address
and
port
to listen to when called with the
-l
option. The default is to listen to the
tftp
port specified in
/etc/services
on all local addresses.
-c
Allow new files to be created. By default,
tftpd
will only allow upload of files that already exist. Files are created
with default permissions allowing anyone to read or write them, unless
the
-p
or
-U
options are specified.
-s
Change root directory on startup. This means the remote host does not
need to pass along the directory as part of the transfer, and may add
security. When
-s
is specified, exactly one
directory
should be specified on the command line. The use of this option is
recommended for security as well as compatibility with some boot ROMs
which cannot be easily made to include a directory name in its request.
-uusername
Specify the username which
tftpd
will run as; the default is "nobody". The user ID, group ID, and (if
possible on the platform) the supplementary group IDs will be set to
the ones specified in the system permission database for this
username.
-Uumask
Sets the umask for newly created files to the specified value.
The default is zero (anyone can read or write) if the
-p
option is not specified, or inherited from the invoking process if
-p
is specified.
-p
Perform no additional permissions checks above the normal
system-provided access controls for the user specified via the
-u
option.
-ttimeout
When run from
inetd
this specifies how long, in seconds, to wait for a second connection
before terminating the server.
inetd
will then respawn the server when another request comes in. The
default is 900 (15 minutes.)
-Ttimeout
Determine the default timeout, in microseconds, before the first
packet is retransmitted. This can be modified by the client if the
timeout
or
utimeout
option is negotiated. The default is 1000000 (1 second.)
-mremap-file
Specify the use of filename remapping. The
remap-file
is a file containing the remapping rules. See the section on filename
remapping below. This option may not be compiled in, see the output of
in.tftpd -V
to verify whether or not it is available.
-v
Increase the logging verbosity of
tftpd.
This flag can be specified multiple times for even higher verbosity.
-rtftp-option
Indicate that a specific RFC 2347 TFTP option should never be
accepted.
-Bmax-block-size
Specifies the maximum permitted block size. The permitted range for
this parameter is from 512 to 65464. Some embedded clients request
large block sizes and yet do not handle fragmented packets correctly;
for these clients, it is recommended to set this value to the smallest
MTU on your network minus 32 bytes (20 bytes for IP, 8 for UDP, and 4
for TFTP; less if you use IP options on your network.) For example,
on a standard Ethernet (MTU 1500) a value of 1468 is reasonable.
-V
Print the version number and configuration to standard output, then
exit gracefully.
RFC 2347 OPTION NEGOTIATION
This version of
tftpd
supports RFC 2347 option negotation. Currently implemented options
are:
blksize (RFC 2348)
Set the transfer block size to anything less than or equal to the
specified option. This version of
tftpd
can support any block size up to the theoretical maximum of 65464
bytes.
blksize2 (nonstandard)
Set the transfer block size to anything less than or equal to the
specified option, but restrict the possible responses to powers of 2.
The maximum is 32768 bytes (the largest power of 2 less than or equal
to 65464.)
tsize (RFC 2349)
Report the size of the file that is about to be transferred. This
version of
tftpd
only supports the
tsize
option for binary (octet) mode transfers.
timeout (RFC 2349)
Set the time before the server retransmits a packet, in seconds.
utimeout (nonstandard)
Set the time before the server retransmits a packet, in microseconds.
The
-r
option can be used to disable specific options; this may be necessary
to work around bugs in specific TFTP client implementations. For
example, some TFTP clients have been found to request the
blksize
option, but crash with an error if they actually get the option
accepted by the server.
FILENAME REMAPPING
The
-m
option specifies a file which contains filename remapping rules. Each
non-comment line (comments begin with hash marks,
#)
contains an
operation,
specified below; a
regex,
a regular expression in the style of
egrep;
and optionally a
replacement pattern.
The operation indicated by
operation
is performed if the
regex
matches all or part of the filename. Rules are processed from the top
down, and by default, all rules are processed even if there is a
match.
The
operation
can be any combination of the following letters:
r
Replace the substring matched by
regex
by the
replacement pattern.
The replacement pattern may contain escape sequences; see below.
g
Repeat this rule until it no longer matches. This is always used with
r.
i
Match the
regex
case-insensitively. By default it is case sensitive.
e
If this rule matches, end rule processing after executing the rule.
s
If this rule matches, start rule processing over from the very first
rule after executing this rule.
a
If this rule matches, refuse the request and send an access denied
error to the client.
G
This rule applies to GET (RRQ) requests only.
P
This rule applies to PUT (WRQ) requests only.
The following escape sequences are recognized as part of the
replacement pattern:
\0
The entire string matched by the
regex.
\1 to \9
The strings matched by each of the first nine parenthesized
subexpressions, \( ... \), of the
regex
pattern.
\i
The IP address of the requesting host, in dotted-quad notation
(e.g. 192.0.2.169).
\x
The IP address of the requesting host, in hexadecimal notation
(e.g. C00002A9).
\\
Literal backslash.
\whitespace
Literal whitespace.
\#
Literal hash mark.
If the mapping file is changed, you need to send
SIGHUP
to any outstanding
tftpd
process.
SECURITY
The use of TFTP services does not require an account or password on
the server system. Due to the lack of authentication information,
tftpd
will allow only publicly readable files (o+r) to be accessed, unless the
-p
option is specified. Files may be written only if they already exist
and are publicly writable, unless the
-c
option is specified. Note that this extends the concept of ``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.
Typically, some kind of firewall or packet-filter solution should be
employed. If appropriately compiled (see the output of
in.tftpd -V)
tftpd
will query the
hosts_access(5)
database for access control information. This may be slow; sites
requiring maximum performance may want to compile without this option
and rely on firewalling or kernel-based packet filters instead.
The server should be set to run as the user with the lowest possible
privilege; please see the
-u
flag. It is probably a good idea to set up a specific user account for
tftpd,
rather than letting it run as "nobody", to guard against privilege
leaks between applications.
Access to files can, and should, be restricted by invoking
tftpd
with a list of directories by including pathnames as server program
arguments on the command line. In this case access is restricted to
files whole names are prefixed by one of the given directories. If
possible, it is recommended that the
-s
flag is used to set up a chroot() environment for the server to run in
once a connection has been set up.
Finally, the filename remapping
(-m
flag) support can be used to provide a limited amount of additional
access control.
