Well, I've never used such service but I would:
- Read the docs ("/usr/share/doc/atftpd/"), maybe it requires some tweaks
to put it to work
- Review the logs, once you start the service and try to make a
connection from a client machine
- Look into Debian BTS, maybe there is a bug on that concrete package
that can be hitting you:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=atftpd;dist=unstable
- And finally, google for any recent tutorial/howto on the matter:
