The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) provides a minimalistic means for transferring files. It is generally used as a part of PXE booting or for updating configuration and firmware on devices which have limited memory such as routers and printers.
This article describes how to set up a tftpd server under Arch Linux using the tftp-hpa package.
Installation
Install the package tftp-hpa which can be found in the official repositories.
Configuration
Create a copy of the tftpd.service unit, and modify ExecStart with the appropriate directory to use as the tftp root.
# vim /etc/systemd/system/tftpd.service
[Unit] Description=hpa's original TFTP daemon [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /srv/tftp/ StandardInput=socket StandardOutput=inherit StandardError=journal
Systemd#Replacing_provided_unit_files talks in more detail about customizing unit files.
Run
Start tftpd:
# systemctl start tftpd.socket tftpd.service
To start tftpd on boot:
# systemctl enable tftpd.socket
See Systemd#Using_units for more information on manipulating services.
