tftpd(8c)							     tftpd(8c)

Name
       tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server

Syntax
       /usr/etc/tftpd [ -r pathname ]

Description
       The  server,  supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
       The TFTP server is invoked when receives a packet on the port indicated
       in the TFTP service description.	 The server is not normally started by
       default from

       The use of does not require an account or password on the  remote  sys‐
       tem.   Because  of  the	lack of authentication information, will allow
       only publicly readable files to be accessed.  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	 however,  and
       its implications should be considered before enabling TFTP service.

       The server should have the user ID with the lowest possible privilege.

Options
       -r pathname    The  pathname  can be the choice of the user.  For exam‐
		      ple, would allow only files below to be copied using

Restrictions
       This server is known only to be self consistent, that is,  it  operates
       with  the user TFTP program, Because of the unreliability of the trans‐
       port protocol (UDP) and the scarcity of	TFTP  implementations,	it  is
       uncertain whether it really works.

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