SUMMARY: tftp quits after 16 MB

2007-12-24 20:43:00

Dear Collegues,

recently I postet the following question:

I'm trying to download a 90 MB file via tftp.
It quits always arround 16 MB with "Timed out".

The answer is :

"No, you can't transfer more than 16 MB via tftp"

it seems to bee a limitation of the protocol.

Some of you pointed to special designed tftd-Deamons
and clients but this is far no more standard-tftp.

So I ended up in splitting my 90 MB Linux-Image into 15MB pieces.
