Hello arush,

That would indicate that TFTP is not installed or is not located in the PATH of the user attempting to run the command. Are you attempting to run tftp as root? If you are not running as root try that first but if that does not work you likely need to install TFTP which can be done using the below command.

bash# yum install tftp tftp-server

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Hello Rafael,

I would check file and directory permissions first.

Thanks.

@arush – CentOS does not include tftp client by default you have to install it.
yum install tftp should sort you out.

Nevermind. I found the answer. It looks like the tftp server is not in the 5.7 i386 repos. You can get the rpm directly from the 5.6 repo and it works.

See this CentOS forum post:

Alex,

Good article.

I’m doing tftp to support PXE booting to install OSes across my network. I’ve got DHCP and PXE working just fine.

When I do yum install tftp-server I get the following output from yum:

No package tftp-server available.
Nothing to do

What am I missing? Is there something wrong with my repos? I’m running CentOS 5.7.

hi alex, thanks for this and it was pretty straightforward… i’m trying to make my ip phones (cisco) pick up settings from the tftp server i just created. i think i need to put the settings in the tftpboot directory but i don’t know where to find this and i’m not sure of what settings to put in this directory. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanx…

Hello alex2,

It sounds as is you just have not installed TFTP. You might try installing something like atftp via your favorite package manager.

Thanks.
