many things can go wrong with tftp from it not being activate to the signal not being sent at the right time.
are you on windows? if so, follow this guide

just make sure you enable tftp

and here's a video walk through using a tftp client. Use the built in one for windows 10 though. the video is more of an example of how its done.
