      I'm trying to install tftpd on pfSense, but it isn't available via pkg manager on my current version of pfsense  - 2.3.2-RELEASE-p1 (amd64) .

      I understand that it is/was available on other versions. How would I get hold of it?

        And there's still nothing changed since https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=125503.0 (or your previous duplicate thread that's been deleted meanwhile.)

          That explains it…. I thought I had  already posted a thread with this title but since I couldn't find it I thought I must have forgotten to click 'post'...

          There was no reply to that other thread, so I thought I would start a different thread... That was about whether anyone had experience of setting up pfsense as a PXE server. This one is about the existance of tftpd for pfsense as a pkg which can be installed. You said it was available in 2.3.3 and 2.4 but I do not have an option of upgrading to those versions so what do I do?

                I have installed tftpd but can't get it to work….

                From a cmd prompt on the box I tried 'ls -l > /tftpboot/dirlist'

                /tftpboot/dirlist exists

                From a different FreeBSD box

                tftp 192.168.1.1
                get dirlist
                Got ERROR packet: Unsupported option(s) requested

                The fact that I got a response shows that the tftp server is enabled

                Any ideas on what is wrong?

                When using the tftp server on FreeNAS, everything works as expected.

                  It seems that FreeBSD's tftp and tftp-hpa don't get on too well….

                  https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2011-April/229210.html

                  Well they didn't in 2011... maybe they still don't. How do I get around the problem?
