Debian has:

  tftpd
  tftpd-hpa
  atftpd

tftpd-hpa is H. Peter Anvin's take on tftpd. It is slightly larger, but
has some handy features. atftpd has even more.

A sore point to both tftpd and tftpd-hpa is the logging, which is a bit
lacking.

TFTP is a simple protocol, and by default there's no configuration:

# installing both client and server, to be able to test server with
# client:
apt-get install tftpd-hpa tftp-hpa

# Should be working now. Let's test:
echo hi > /var/lib/tftpboot/hello
tftp localhost -c get /hello
# Should complain if there is a problem. Did we get the file?
cat hello
# we get "hi"
