The tftp client is udp based and connectionless. When you run it as
'tftp hostname' you will get a prompt back whether there is tftp
available on the host or not.

Try getting a file from the server to check it, OR, if you can login to
the server (I know you can, in this case, I'm just speaking in general
terms) - do this:

netstat -a | more

And look for a line

udp	0	0  *.tftp	*.*

If present, inetd is listening for tftp connections. If absent, you're
fine.
