tftp vs tftp-hpa
I'm trying to set up a tftp server on my notebook (using Ubuntu 10.4). I've come across many tutorials, however some refer to tftp-hpa and others to tftp. I've noticed that both exist on the repositories, and after reading a while, I understand that hpa is an enhanced version.
Should I prefer one over the other for some strong reason? Right now I'll settle with the one that works (can't get a file so far).
Thanks in advance.
Well, the tftpd-hpa
description says:
tftp-hpa
is an enhanced version of the BSD TFTP client and server. It possesses a number of bugfixes and enhancements over the original.
So you should certainly choose the -hpa
version, unless you are required to use the BSD version for some reason (which doesn't seem your case).
BTW, you can also check the atftpd
package.
