tftpd − DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server

SYNOPSIS

/usr/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), and is invoked each time a datagram reaches this port by the internet server inetd(8C).

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

BUGS

This server is known only to be self consistent (i.e. it operates with the user TFTP program, tftp(1C)).
