Bold indicates a button clicked or key pressed.
“quotes” indicates a value which has been entered.

Grey block quote is a command typed directly into the console.

Procedures

1. Log in as root or an administrative user.

#apt-get install tftpd
#mkdir /tftpboot
#chmod 777 /tftpboot

2. Edit /etc/inetd.conf, change /srv/tftp to /tftpboot under the tftp section. This is a matter of personal choice, however many programs use the /tftpboot directory as their base of operations for TFTP transactions.

#/etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart
