This was a Sun box with Solaris 2.6. On that server, if you send file to that server, you don't need to make an empty file on it before you send, it saved us a lot of time. I believe it is another edition of tftp daemon. The bad thing is that I didn't dig enough to get the info for where the specific tftp program came from. I just hope that different edition tftp application in the world somewhere and someone knows it, but it seems that I was wrong ...
