Starting a tftp server in OS X Leopard

Copy the file you wish to serve to:

/private/tftpboot

Then:

sudo launchctl

From the launchd% prompt run:


load -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist
start com.apple.tftpd

And when you’re done using the server just:


stop com.apple.tftpd
unload load -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist
