I need to run a tftp server.  I have installed it on a F21 notebook.  I

How do I control what directory it is using?  The README.secure talks
Have you read its man page?  I found 2 online, one for Linux, one for
BSD.  Both explain that by default it starts in /etc/xinetd.d, but that
it takes a list of directories to use, where you can put files.  Also it
has a -s option to change the default root location.   RTFM

Yes, I read the man pages. Perhaps I am just too tired this evening. And thinking about it, with as little as I need it, it is better to run it from a command line then xinetd.d

Because I did not install it, I can't tell you if it creates a
configuration file in /etc/sysconfig for it or not, but I would look
there.  It usually runs as a part of xinetd, but it *can* be configured
to run without it.

No /etc/sysconfig file.


that....

Besides the basic instructions to start the server, I know I have to
open the udp port in firewalld.  But I want to know what directory it is
using so I can put the config file there to download.
/etc/services lists 69 as the usual tftp port.  It also mentions 1818
for etftp and 3713 for tftp over tls.

That part I knew and expressed very poorly. I was stating the 'obivous' that of course I had to open up the port on the firewall.


Leave it for tomorrow and get a decent night's sleep. The man pages will probably make more sense then...
