OS X TFTP Server?
I need advice regarding setting up OS X Server box as a TFTP server.
Based on this article (http://www.afp548.com/article.php?st...0816133908317), and this utility (http://ww2.unime.it/flr/tftpserver/) I have a simple TFT Tiger server set up now, but the deal-breaker for me is this:
The TFT Server can't create files and can only write to files that are publicly writable. So before any data can be saved via TFTP to a file, that file has to be created and made publicly writable at the local machine by the user first.
In other words, if my Network Admin wants to upload a Cisco config file named "router.cfg" to my server, I have to log onto the server via SSH, or ARD, or to the console FIRST and create a "dummy file" named "router.cfg", THEN my admin can write a file to the server via TFT named "router.cfg"
That sounds crazy to me. I adds security I suppose, but it defeats the purpose!
Any ideas on how to open it up wider?
Thanks!
