TFTPD(8N)               COMMAND REFERENCE               TFTPD(8N)



NAME
     tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server

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

DESCRIPTION
     The tftpd server supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer
     Protocol and is started from inetd(8N).  The TFTP server
     operates at the port indicated in the TFTP service
     description; see services(5N).  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)).

     The use of tftp does not require an account or password on
     the remote system.  Due to the lack of authentication
     information, tftpd will allow only publicly readable files
     to be accessed; note that this extends the concept of
     ``public'' to include all users on all hosts that can be
     reached through the network; this may not be appropriate on
     all systems, and its implications should be considered
     before enabling tftp service.

OPTIONS
     -d        Enable debugging for each socket created by tftpd
               (see SO_DEBUG in socket(2)).

     port      Use this port instead of the one in services(5N).

RETURN VALUE
     [0]              Tftpd is running

     [1]              Tftpd is not running

     [3]              System socket error

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

     The search permissions of the directories leading to the
     files accessed are not checked.

SEE ALSO
     inetd(8N), services(5N).
