tftp - Error code 1: File not found

I need the correct syntax of tftp to get and put file. My ultimate goal is using busybox tftp (this should be second question), but it failed even trying to test with local Ubuntu tftp client. As you can see below, ftp no issue, only tftp has issue. And this is loopback ip so shouldn't related to iptables (Again, ftp no issue). To prevent potential long path issue, I test with only home directory. xb@dnxb:/tmp$ grep anon_root /etc/vsftpd.conf anon_root=/home/xiaobai/ xb@dnxb:/tmp$ cat /home/xiaobai/haha 7 xb@dnxb:/tmp$ ftp 127.0.0.1 Connected to 127.0.0.1. 220 (vsFTPd 3.0.3) Name (127.0.0.1:xiaobai): anonymous 331 Please specify the password.

The remote host may be specified on the command line, in which case tftp uses host as the default host for future transfers. http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~dholland/computers/netkit.html Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers xb@dnxb:/tmp$ Then I folllow this answer : xb@dnxb:/tmp$ tftp -v 127.0.0.1 -c get haha usage: tftp host-name [port] tftp> xb@dnxb:/tmp$ xb@dnxb:/tmp$ tftp -v 127.0.0.1 -c get /home/xiaobai/haha usage: tftp host-name [port] tftp> xb@dnxb:/tmp$ xb@dnxb:/tmp$ tftp -v 127.0.0.1 -c put haha usage: tftp host-name [port] tftp> xb@dnxb:/tmp$ tftp -v 127.0.0.1 -c put /home/xiaobai/haha usage: tftp host-name [port] tftp> ^F ?Invalid command tftp> xb@dnxb:/tmp$ xb@dnxb:/tmp$ And also this answer (comment out or not seems not effect, I did do service vsftpd restart after edited): xb@dnxb:/tmp$ grep server_args /etc/xinetd.conf # server_args = -c -s /tftpboot xb@dnxb:/tmp$ It could better if someone can give answer about busybox tftp which has different option: # busybox tftp BusyBox v1.22.1 bionic (2017-11-04 12:54 +0800) multi-call binary.
