http://www.busybox.net/downloads/BusyBox.html
tftpd
    tftpd [-cr] [-u USER] [DIR]
    Transfer a file on tftp client's request
    tftpd should be used as an inetd service. tftpd's line for inetd.conf: 69 dgram udp nowait root tftpd tftpd /files/to/serve It also can be ran from udpsvd:
       udpsvd -vE 0.0.0.0 69 tftpd /files/to/serve
    Options:
            -r      Prohibit upload
            -c      Allow file creation via upload
            -u      Access files as USER


To automatic start on boot, modify your ramdisk image with a this line to /etc/inetd.conf:
69 dgram udp nowait root tftpd tftpd /files/to/serve

On my Zynq with the prebuilt release of Xilinx 2014.3, the file "/etc/inetd.config" exists. This assumes that you are running Linux on your target board.

I am using vivado 2014.4.1

many thanks for your reply...

i used the prebuilt image from xilinx and it has now directory /etc/inetd.conf

But now i cannot use this command 

udpsvd -vE 10.10.70.102 69 tftpd /home/new_tftp_folder

it say no udpsvd.....can you please tell me some easy way to start server in some-directory in the background!!

Looks like the pre-build uramdisk.image.gz contains a BusyBox compiled without udpsvd, tcpsvd or tftpd. Adding those components would be considerable amount of work. You would to build BusyBox, unpack the ramdisk, install BusyBox to the image and pack the image.

However, the pre-built  ramdisk does have ftpd daemon included with BusyBox. The inetd.conf already starts up the ftpd daemon. Files are transferred through /var/ftp. Suggest using FTP instead of TFTP.

Another option is to use a SCP client.  The pre-built ramdisk has SSH provided by DropBear. You can use a SCP client (like WinSCP) to transfer files to and from the board.

Dear Colleague,

Many thanks for your message!!

I will glad if i could get the arm_ramdisk.image.gz (not uramdisk.image.gz) for 2014.4 release. The reason is this file arm_ramdisk.image.gz is seems to be old and uImage of this file does not contain updated busy box.

And I have hard time in removing the header of uramdisk.image.gz of 2014.4 release. And finally it doesnot work.......

so I will be glad if i could get the latest ramdisk image which has been used to generate uramdisk.image.gz for 2014.4 release.

Regards
