My directory permissions

root at elmstreet / # ll -d /var/tftpboot/
drwxrwxrwx  3 root root 4096 Mar 24 07:17 /var/tftpboot//

Here's my /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

root at elmstreet / # cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp
service tftp
{
         socket_type             = dgram
         protocol                = udp
         wait                    = yes
         user                    = root
         server                  = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
         server_args             = -c -s /var/tftpboot
         disable                 = no
         per_source              = 11
         cps                     = 100 2
         flags                   = IPv4
}

Make sure no tftpd process is running... (kill it if u find 1)

root at elmstreet / # ps auxwww | grep ftp
nobody    4706  0.0  0.0  5004  572 ?        Ss   Mar07   0:01 proftpd:

root       525  0.0  0.0  3928  556 pts/1    R+   07:17   0:00 grep ftp

Restart xinetd

root at elmstreet / # service xinetd restart
Stopping xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]
Starting xinetd:                                           [  OK  ]

Here I copy the startup-config from a cisco 3660 router

gw-lan-1#copy startup-config tftp://10.0.0.129/startup
Address or name of remote host [10.0.0.129]?
Destination filename [startup]?
!!!!!!!!!!!!
53297 bytes copied in 0.208 secs (256236 bytes/sec)

And here we go...

root at elmstreet / # ll /var/tftpboot/startup
-rw-rw-rw-  1 nobody nobody 53297 Mar 24 07:17 /var/tftpboot/startup
