Quartus uses a daemon, jtagd, as intermediate between the programming software and the device. This seems needlessly complicated, but does enable remote host programming apparently. The key points to configuring it correctly are: it must be able to access a list of FPGA descriptions, and run as root.

Copy the descriptions from your Quartus installation to the configuration directory of jtagd:

mkdir /etc/jtagd
cp <Quartus install path>/linux64/pgm_parts.txt /etc/jtagd/jtagd.pgm_parts 

(Note the change of name!)

Have jtagd start at boot by either placing it in the rc.d system, or simply place the following line in /etc/rc.local:

<Quartus install path>/bin/jtagd
