If you encounter an invalid error while using the tftp command in Linux, it may be due to several possible reasons:

  1. The TFTP service is not installed correctly: please make sure that the TFTP server software package is installed correctly, you can install the TFTP server software package using the following command:
sudo apt-get install tftp
  1. The tftp service is not properly configured: Please check if the configuration file of the tftp server is correct, usually located in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa or /etc/default/tftp directory.
  2. The TFTP server did not start correctly: Please ensure that the TFTP server is properly started and running. You can use the following command to start the TFTP server:
sudo service tftpd-hpa start
  1. Permission issue: Please ensure that users have read and write access to the tftp server directory. You can grant read and write permissions using the following command:
sudo chmod -R 777 /tftpboot

If the above methods are unable to solve the problem, we suggest checking the system logs for more information or trying to reinstall the tftp server software package.
