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

1. TFTP Server

Windows:
SolarWinds TFTP
http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
Serva 32/64

Mac OS X:
Setting up the tftpd server, Diskless NetBSD HOW-TO

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.

2. FTP

There are situations which mandate using FTP such as
* FTP is TCP-based protocol while TFTP is UDP-based protocol. By leveraging connection-oriented nature TCP has, FTP service has higher reliability over slow, congested, or unreliable connection
* Certain hardware do not support TFTP (such as Juniper products running JUNOS)

Windows
Baby FTP Server
Filezilla FTP

3. SFTP

Secure FTP or SFTP is basically FTP with encryption, tunneled through SSH (TCP port 22). Modern appliances now days either support or mandate the use of SFTP

Windows
Solarwinds SFTP
