NAME

tftp − DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server

SYNOPSIS

/etc/tftpd [ −d ] [ port ]

DESCRIPTION

Tftpd is a server which supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol.  The TFTP server operates at the port indicated in the “tftp” service description; see services(5). This port number may be overridden (for debugging purposes) by specifying a port number on the command line.  If the −d option is specified, each socket created by tftpd will have debugging enabled (see SO_DEBUG in socket(2)).

Due to the lack of authentication information, tftpd will allow only publicly readable files to be accessed. 

SEE ALSO

tftp(1C)

BUGS

This server is known only to be self consistent (i.e. it operates with the user TFTP program, tftp(1C)). Due to the unreliability of the transport protocol (UDP) and the scarcity of TFTP implementations, it is uncertain whether it really works.
