A network transfer protocol that allows you to connect to a device and download code onto it. For example, it can be used to shove boot code onto a diskless...
A protocol, defined in RFC 1350, which is a subset of the File Transfer Protocol ( RFC 959), which allows files to be transferred between hosts with limited authentication and only minimal error checking. See also Boot Protocol (BOOTP).
A TCP/IP protocol that supports rudimentary file transfer over User Datagram Protocol (UDP). TFTP lacks security controls.
A simpler, less-reliable form of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) that does not provide password protection or a user-directory capability. TFTP is less reliable because it uses User Datagram Protocol (UDP), a connectionless datagram delivery service.
A file transfer protocol that transfers files to and from a remote computer running the TFTP service. TFTP was designed with less functions than FTP. Defined in RFC 1350, among others. See also File Transfer Protocol.
TFTP is used to transfer files between the TFTP client and a TFTP server. This protocol uses UDP as a transport and, unlike FTP, does not require a user to log on in order to transfer files. The TFTP protocol was designed to be small so that both it and the UDP protocol could be implemented on a PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) chip. The TFTP protocol is limited (hence the name trivial) when compared to the FTP protocol. The TFTP protocol can only read and write files; it cannot list the contents of directories, create or remove directories, or allow a user to log on as the FTP protocol allows. The TFTP protocol is primarily used in bootprotocols and for upgrading firmware in for example routers.
A simplified version of FTP that transfers files but does not provide password protection or user-directory capability. It is associated with the TCP/IP family of protocols.
A network application that is simpler than the File Transfer Protocol ( FTP) but less capable. It is used where user authentication and directory visibility are not required. TFTP uses the User Datagram Protocol ( UDP) rather than the Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP).
A protocol that is used by an IntelliMirror server to download the initial files needed to begin the boot or installation process.
Protocol used to transfer files across the network using UDP. See also User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
A mechanism for remote logins similar to Telnet but which uses UDP as a transport layer protocol instead of TCP.
A protocol used to download the initial files needed to begin the installation process. See also: protocol
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a very simple file transfer protocol, with the functionality of a very basic form of FTP; it was first defined in 1980.
