Log files not transferred remotely

Symptom

Rotated log files are not transferred to a remote host.

Cause

• The remote host might not be reachable.

• The TFTP server on the remote host might not have sufficient privileges for file creation.

Action

1. Verify that the remote host is reachable.

2. Ensure that the TFTP server is configured with the required file creation permissions.

3. For example, on the TFTPD-HPA server, change the configuration file in /etc/default/tftpd-hpa to include -c in TFTP_OPTIONS. (for example, TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure -c.).
