How to enable tftp server on Mac OS X Me in IT. This guy is fantastic with Unix/Linux. He really makes things simple with his step by step instructions. This is also known as tftpd. I had someone search for this term once and it didn’t show this article since it wasn’t an exact match.

 

1. Change /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist Quite simple; remove two lines <key>Disabled</key> and <true/>. Besides that, I added the -l option with <string>-l</string>, but that’s optional.
2. Load tftp.plist into launchd The command launchdctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist will do that.
3. Monitor /var/log/system.log With the command tail -f /var/log/system.log

Now place the required files in /private/tftpboot and you are done!

If you don’t want to do this you can also use this program:

TFTP Server 3.3.1 Very cool freeware and GUI that is compatible with Snow Leopard.
