Here it is ...

Get a second Linux computer (invite a friend or visit one)

Give the second linux computer the address 192.168.1.6
Stay on that computer, open a terminal, a command line shell


    ping -c 3  192.168.1.9
    # all three might time-out, report if they do
    telnet 192.168.1.9  23  # a connection refused is expected
    telnet 192.168.1.9  22  # a SSH-banner expected, just press enter
    telnet 192.168.1.9  80  # nothing, just a connect, press enter twice

And you created 'aa' in that directory?
And you did put 'aa' in that directory?

Install on 192.168.1.6  a TFTP-client tool.

    tftp 192.168.1.9
    get aa
    quit


Check the logging at 192.168.1.9
