I think this is a fair question. When I bought my Abatron BDI2000, I had a hard time setting up a TFTP server on my Linux host... it was much easier to use the Windowze-based TFTP server that came along with the Abatron firmware :-( Fortunatelly, we have some local Linux gurus here at my job place. So, basically, what has to be done, assuming a Linux host, is: 1 - Check if you're lucky: try locating in.tftpd in your bin directories (mainly in /usr/sbin) 2 - If you don't have it, download it from the web; better download both server and clients apps 3 - Install them (I have a Red Hat box, so installing rpm's is straightforward for me :-) 4 - Now, the tough part: you'll have to manually configure inetd (or worse, xinetd - depending on your system). I can put a copy of a sample conf file here, if you need it...
