1.2 TFTP Configuration

1.2.1 Introduction to TFTP

Compared with FTP, TFTP (trivial file transfer protocol) features simple interactive
access interface and no authentication control. It simplifies the interaction between
servers and clients remarkably. TFTP is implemented based on UDP. It transfers data
through UDP port 69. Basic TFTP operations are described in RFC1986.
TFTP transmission is initiated by clients, as described in the following:
To download a file, a client sends read request packets to the TFTP server,
receives data from the TFTP server, and then sends acknowledgement packets
to the TFTP server.
