Accessing a symlink over tftp

inetd, linux, symlink, tftp

Solution

Will tftp pull the file when you try to tftp file.bin directly?

Also is tftp your only solution here?

Problem

I am using `GNU` `inetd` and `tftpd` (under `cygwin`, but that shouldn't matter), and I need to have many symbolic links pointing to only a few different files, which should be accessible via `tftp`. tftp directory looks like this: ``` lrwxrwxrwx 1 12 Jun 4 21:29 link.bin -> file.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 6 Jun 2 01:38 file.bin ``` and tftp says this: ``` tftp> get link.bin Error code 1: File not found ``` I used `ln -s file.bin link.bin` Can tftpd handle symlinks? What am I doing wrong?
