What is TFTP?

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple, lockstep, file transfer protocol which allows a client to get a file from or put a file onto a remote host. It is often used for booting diskless workstations, embedded devices, or for transferring configuration files between devices because of its small code size and simplicity. It lacks advanced features like security or directory listing, making it suitable for environments where these features are not critical and a minimal implementation is desired.
