TFTP needs file overwrite

"the files must already exist before writing to them"

Step1: MAC OS has pre-set TFTP program. It needs to be activated.

Step2: Create local folder for tftp repository.

$ cd ~

$ mkdir TFTP

$ chmod 755 TFTP

$ echo hogehoge >> test.html

$ ls

test.html

Step3: replace "/private/tftpboot" with "your created local folder"

$ sudo vi /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist

Finish tftp:

$ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist

Start tftp:

$ sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist

Step4: Check port 69 is used for tftp service. 

$ sudo lsof -i:69

COMMAND PID USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME

launchd   1 root   42u  IPv4 0x8464b2a1195f48b9      0t0  UDP *:tftp

launchd   1 root   44u  IPv6 0x8464b2a1190da3a1      0t0  UDP *:tftp

launchd   1 root   48u  IPv4 0x8464b2a1195f48b9      0t0  UDP *:tftp

launchd   1 root   49u  IPv6 0x8464b2a1190da3a1      0t0  UDP *:tftp

Step5: MAC's TFTP doesn't allow you to create a new file.

$ ls -al

total 29416

drwxrwxrwx   5 aruba  staff       170 10 12 14:37 .

drwxr-xr-x+ 31 aruba  staff      1054 10 12 13:33 ..

-rw-r--r--@  1 aruba  staff  15056469 10 12 10:51 WB_16_02_0012.swi

-rw-r--r--   1 aruba  staff         0 10 12 14:37 start.cfg

$ touch start.cfg

$ chmod 666 start.cfg

$ ls -al

total 29416

drwxrwxrwx   5 aruba  staff       170 10 12 14:37 .

drwxr-xr-x+ 31 aruba  staff      1054 10 12 13:33 ..

-rw-r--r--@  1 aruba  staff  15056469 10 12 10:51 WB_16_02_0012.swi

-rw-rw-rw-   1 aruba  staff         0 10 12 14:37 start.cfg

-rw-r--r--   1 aruba  staff        10 10 12 13:27 test.html

Notes: If you use "/private/tftpboot" folder, you get errror message with no permission error.

$ tftp localhost

tftp> get test.html

tftp: test.html: Permission denied
