Tftp Transfer timed out, files empty

Phones don’t provision because files arrive empty. I tried to isolate the problem (see below). What am I missing?

With firewall switched off…

On the client:

tftp -v 192.168.0.2
tftp> get test.txt
getting from 192.168.0.2:test.txt to test.txt [netascii]
Transfer timed out.

/var/log/messages on the server:

tail -f /var/log/messages
pbx in.tftpd[17928]: RRQ from 192.168.0.189 filename test.txt
pbx in.tftpd[17925]: Client 192.168.0.189 finished test.txt
pbx in.tftpd[17925]: Client 192.168.0.189 timed out

tcpdump on the server:

tcpdump -vvnn udp port 69 (on the server)
12:42:24.761267 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 128, id 46834, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 48)
192.168.0.189.53371 > 192.168.0.2.69: [udp sum ok]  20 RRQ "test.txt" netascii

Can you try switching to something more secure ?

Even HTTP with a “hidden” path name is better than TFTP… eg. http://192.168.0.2/mahsecreturlz/test.txt

Better if you can do HTTPS with user/pass!
