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



NAME
     tftpd - 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 server 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  Causes each socket created by tftpd to have debugging
         enabled (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).
