OK.  I'm afraid I think if TftpTmpDir's parent does not exist, osstest
should not create it automatically.

As an aside: this habit of using /tmp as a personal playground is a
really bad one.

It may be fine on your single-user workstation, but if it slips into
any code or config which you ship to anyone else, it is a security
problem.

You should probably create a ~/tmp.
