Due to the lack of authentication information, tftpd will allow
only publicly readable files to be accessed.  Files may be written only
if they already exist and are publicly writable.

So, in order to write a file, first you'll need to

cd /tftpboot
touch filename
chmod a+rw filename

To be read, files must have at least o+r permission.

Hope that helps.
