     NAME
          tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server

     SYNOPSIS
          /etc/tftpd [-d] [port]

     DESCRIPTION
          tftpd is a server supporting the DARPA Trivial File Transfer
          Protocol. The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in
          the tftp service description; see services(4N).

          port override the default port number (for debugging)

          -d   enable debugging on each socket created by tftpd (see
               SODEBUG in socket(2N)).

          Since you do not have to have an account or password on the
          remote system to use tftp, tftpd will only allow you to
          access publicly readable files.  This includes all users on
          all hosts who can be reached through the network.  This may
          not be appropriate on all systems, and you should consider
          the implications before enabling tftp service.

     BUGS
          This server is only self-consistent.  Due to the
          unreliability of the transport protocol (UDP) and the
          scarcity of TFTP implementations, it is uncertain whether it
          really works.

          tftpd does not check the search permissions of the
          directories leading to the accessed files.
