Hi,
I use the tftp server configured with YAST. I would like to monitoring the transfers between hosts and server, how i will do this ?
tks.
When you have it installed, I have no doubt there is a man page. (I ahven’t it installed, thus I do nothave the man page on my system).
Doesn’t
man tptpd
explain anything?
And doesn’t it log in the system log?
BTW, telling which version of openSUSE you use is always nice to those who might potentialy help you.

See tftpd(8), there are hits when you search for “log”.

Depends on what you really mean by “monitoring.”
There are numerous metrics which can be setup to be collected, and monitoring can range from rudimentary log collection, perhaps some crude threshold notification to things like graphical display of data (historical and/or realtime), reverse lookups (converting IP addresses to Hostnames) and more.
So,
You can start with simple log collection as I described.
There are many log analysis tools that can parse the data to display only what you want.
You can also look at various network health monitoring related to your tftp transfers, eg I’ve found that sysstats works in 12.3 (some other tools may not work).
You can install something like Nagios (recommend VM appliance for beginners) for Enterprise Network level, fundamental monitoring and notifications.
If you find you like Nagios, there are a number of other applications (many FOSS) that make creating, configuring and displaying information much better.
