[solved] pfSense as TFTP server

taunusstein.net

Hello folks,

at least pfSense includes a tftp server in default installation: Dnsmasq

It needs an additional little installation. Following small script does it:


#!/bin/sh

cat > /usr/local/etc/dnsmasq.conf <<eof<br>enable-tftp
tftp-root=/usr/local/www/tftpboot
EOF</eof<br>

Run it and boot pfSense. You may verify tftp with


netstat -nal |grep 69
udp6       0      0 *.69                                          *.*                                           
udp4       0      0 *.69                   *.*                    
udp4       0      0 127.0.0.1.6969         *.*

Data SSD ist mounted below pfSense http server, so installers which needs http are working.
pfSense developers should consider to add tftp configuration to web gui.

hope that helps.

regards
Christian

Did you look at the TFTP package that's available under System->Packages->Available Packages ?

Might be a little easier to handle for many folks. :)
