RE: [LI] How can change tftpd home directory

[Unix-Contractor, Wipro (CORP)]

I am developing a NMS software package for one of our customer ( managing
around 380 Cisco Routers ), I want to use Linux's tftp server to save Router
configuration (using "write net" command in Cisco router),this by default
writes to /home/ftp, but there is not much space in /home partition that is
why I want to write this to some other directory. How should I achieve this
?

FTP and TFTP are totally different daemons.
FTP is used by human being  for file transfers and
TFTP is used by diskless machine ( or hackers ) to get the boot image file.
The most important is tftp does not require user name and password.
Now the question is what you want?
Set the tftp carefully is as it is hackers favorite daemon.
