Port notes

***** Setup Instructions *****

NOTE: By default, tftp-hpa listens to the tftp port specified in /etc/services (port 69)
on all local addresses.

To run tftpd manually for download only access, use this command:
sudo tftpd -L -s <tftp-root-dir>

To run tftpd manually and support tftp uploads, add "-c" to the command:
sudo tftpd -L -c -s <tftp-root-dir>

You may run tftpd at system boot using the startupitem if you installed tftp-hpa
using the server variant. To load the startupitem using launchctl:
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.tftpd.plist

NOTE: When loading tftp-hpa using launchctl, make sure to place the files you want to serve
in ${prefix}/var/tftp-hpa/, because that is the location set in the StartupItem.

*******************************

If you wish to run tftpd in inetd mode, you may make an inetd compatible .plist
file and replace the one installed by MacPorts in /Library/LaunchDaemons. You
may use /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/tftp.plist as a template.
