VMS Help TCPIP Services, TFTP  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) transfers files from
    a BOOTP server to diskless clients or other remote systems. The
    client initiates the file transfer.

    When the client receives the configuration information in the
    BOOTP response, it sends a request to the TFTP server host named
    in the response. This request is necessary only if the client
    must retrieve the load file.

    If the client sends a read request (RRQ) to the TFTP server, the
    server attempts to locate the file.

    Configuring and managing TFTP on your OpenVMS host involves the
    following tasks:

    o  Configuring the TFTP and BOOTP components using TCPIP$CONFIG

    o  Monitoring the TFTP and BOOTP processes

    o  Using management commands to enable and disable TFTP and to
       configure TFTP in the service database
