To restrict TFTP access to a specific directory:
1.
Log in to your UNIX workstation as
root
.
2.
Insert the appropriate line in the
/etc/inetd.conf
file.
The examples in Table 2-4
restrict access to the /tftpboot directory. You can
substitute any directory you want.
3.
Create a symbolic link in the specified directory for every startup file
path name.
For example, to set up symbolic links in the /tftpboot directory:
a.
Enter the following command to move to the
/tftpboot
directory:
cd tftpboot
b.
Enter the following commands to create symbolic links:
ln -s . usr
ln -s . tftpboot
