Tftp.plist-SERVER??

Question

In troubleshooting a possible TFTP problem in my NetBoot process, I was checking my launchdaemon for TFTP in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
I was checking the tftp.plist file after upgrading my server to 10.4.3 and noticed there was an additional file called tftp.plist-SERVER
Here is what was contained in that file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.apple.tftpd</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/usr/libexec/tftpd</string>
<string>-i</string>
<string>/private/tftpboot</string>
</array>
<key>inetdCompatibility</key>
<dict>
<key>Wait</key>
<true/>
</dict>
<key>InitGroups</key>
<true/>
<key>Sockets</key>
<dict>
<key>Listeners</key>
<dict>
<key>SockServiceName</key>
<string>tftp</string>
<key>SockType</key>
<string>dgram</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
I immediately saw the TRUE on the 'Disabled' parameter, so I backed up the file, changed the TRUE to FALSE and restarted everything since I suspected my TFTP was not running properly. My problem hasnt been fixed, but i havent been able to confirm or deny whether this plist file should be enabled or not. Anyone have any ideas? All of the TFTP documentation I've read says anything about this particulaer 'server' file.

If you could point me to a free webpage hosting solution that would be great, I used to use MobileMe but of course that is no more. I would not need much space or bandwidth.
I'd simply create a git repository at GitHub and use GitHub Pages to create a page for the project. However, this'd require some skills with git and it would mean that you have to open source the project (git repositories on GitHub are public by default when using a free plan).
Another solution would be to create a dropbox account and to share the public URL for the file, e.g. on a GitHub Pages backed website without making the code Open Source.
That said, I could also host this for you at fooforge.com (hosted on a vServer near Frankfurt, Germany) and give you access to the server via SSH so that you can manage uploads by yourself. In this case I'd use your SSH public key. Ping me via [email protected] or [email protected] if interested.
