In OS X Lion Apple changed how you access the TFTP server. \u00a0Below are the steps for editing the default location of the TFTP server and launching it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If you’d like to change the path the TFTP server uses you can create a directory wherever you’d like and name it tftp. \u00a0If not skip to step 3 but be aware you won’t have direct access to the default folder location which is\u00a0\/private\/tftpboot<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. First let’s edit the tftp.plist file to point to the new location<\/li>\n
      \n
    1. Open up Terminal<\/li>\n
    2. type\u00a0\u00a0sudo nano \/System\/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/tftp.plist and press enter<\/li>\n
    3. Type in your password<\/li>\n
    4. Using the arrow keys move the cursor the the\u00a0<string>\/private\/tftpboot<\/strong><\/string> location.<\/li>\n
    5. Replace the path <string>\/private\/tftpboot<\/strong><\/string> with the location you chose. \u00a0I put\u00a0<string>\/Users\/USERNAME\/tftp<\/strong><\/string><\/li>\n
    6. Press control + X<\/strong> and Y<\/strong> to save.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    7. Load and launch the TFTP server<\/li>\n
        \n
      1. In Terminal type\u00a0sudo launchctl load -F \/System\/Library\/LaunchDaemons\/tftp.plist<\/strong> and press enter<\/li>\n
      2. Next type\u00a0sudo launchctl start com.apple.tftpd<\/strong> and press enter<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/ol>\n

        To confirm it is up and listening type\u00a0netstat -a -p udp | grep tftp<\/strong> into the Terminal window and press enter. \u00a0You should see something similar to this…
        \nudp6 0 0 *.tftp *.*
        \nudp4 0 0 *.tftp *.*<\/p>\n

        If not then the daemon did not start correctly. \u00a0You may need to check the plist file for any errors.<\/p>\n

        I got some of my info from The Weezey Geek<\/a> but felt it wasn’t a complete tutorial. \u00a0I wrote this up to hopefully give people a start to finish guide on editing and starting the TFTP server.<\/p>\n
