Do you need to have TFTP server? You need to install the TFTP software first. Here are few links on how to get it and install it for * FREE *

Windows:
SolarWinds TFTP

Note:
It has been known that the SolarWinds TFTP daemon can't handle any IOS files that are above 32MB in size. You may want to use other TFTP daemon instead.

3Com TFTP

Mac OS X:

Linux:

Make sure that your computer specification (the would-be-TFTP-server) such as the computer operating system, CPU, and memory size meets the TFTP software requirements. Don't worry, usually TFTP software does not require high-end or specialized computer or server. Even Pentium Pro running Windows 95 can be a rock-solid TFTP server.

Note:
In case you cannot find or use PC or computer as TFTP server, you could utilize a router as TFTP router by configuring the router with tftp-server command. Check out the following link for more info.
