   Glad you got it sorted. I noticed on my travels that one of the 'helpful'   
   web pages on setting up tftpd:   
   https://linuxlink.timesys.com/docs/linux_tftp   
      
   tells you to configure it to use tcpd even though it doesn't tell you to   
   install tcpd (which it turns out is still available as a package in Ubuntu).   
   So that's setting you up to fail.  And there may be config differences   
   between the different versions of tftpd as to whether you need '-s' when   
   telling it the root location.   
      
   They don't feel like AI slop but seems like a bit of cargo-culting about how   
   to configure things in all these 'helpful' pages.
