There is a very good article on the issue located at AFP548
(http://www.afp548.com/Articles/Jaguar/tftp.html)
In a nutshell, in OS X.1 you used the inetd.conf file to enable TFTP, in OS X.2 you now modify the files inside the xinetd.d directory. Also, to upload a file to an FTP server, a file with that name has to already exits. I guess this is a security thing to prevent someone from filling up a TFTP server
I got mine working with this article no problem.
Good luck

Hey tgbauer, thx for the help. got some more questions.
Yes this starts the TFTP service but where is the configuration file for this?
Back in 10.2 you used the file /etc/xinted.d/tftp to designate which folder would be the home for TFTP. How is that controlled now? where to the files go? what are the permission on it?
thx again

As much as I like dabbling in terminal to get TFTP working,
here is a great GUI app that does it all for you..
TFTServer 3.1
(http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Network-Admin/TftpServer.shtml)
works with 10.2 and later. I just used it to update some Dell switches under 10.4.8.
Well worth the $12 cost.
