From foonas
This is a list of TFTP servers for several Linux variants and other operating systems that are useful for firmware and OS installation operations from your platform of choice with foonas & foonas-em.

Linux
Gentoo
The tftp-hpa package in portage (a port of the OpenBSD TFTP Server) is very easy to use. emerge the package and edit /etc/conf.d/tftpd to taste, for example if your TFTP server root is /tftproot:
# Path to server files from
INTFTPD_PATH="/tftproot"
# For more options, see tftpd(8)
INTFTPD_OPTS="-s ${INTFTPD_PATH}"
Then start the TFTP server:
/etc/init.d/in.tftpd start
Ubuntu
Using the same tftp-hpa package installed by apt-get or Aptitude, one can invoke the server to serve the sought files (from user davygravy's desktop, for instance) by a simple
sudo in.tftpd -l -s /home/davygravy/Desktop
One convenient way to implement this is by using a launcher icon on the desktop. Of course, here as in Gentoo, one can also configure the server config file to run as desired by editing /etc/default/tftpd-hpa .
