He obviously means "upload".

The standard TFTP server on most Unix systems will not create new files
in response to an upload. It will only overwrite existing files, and
requires that they be world-writable.

He wants to send a file from a TFTP client to a Unix server, and doesn't
want to have to login to the server first to create the file. So he's
looking for a TFTP server that doesn't have the above restriction.
