TFTP

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001226

A simplified file transfer protocol, the Trivial File Transfer Protocol, designed for basic file exchange without the complexities of the standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It lacks authentication and directory browsing features, making it insecure for use over the open internet. TFTP operates over UDP on port 69 and is used for tasks like booting diskless workstations or upgrading network device firmware on a local network.
