Chapter 5 The TFTP Service
The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a basic communications
protocol used to transmit files between nodes on a network. It is
implemented on top of the Internet User Datagram Protocol (UDP), so it
can be used across networks that support UDP. On the HP 3000, the TFTP
daemon tftpd transfers boot files to or from the host HP 3000 to remote
nodes on the network. This permits a network device to get the
information it needs to start itself.
This chapter describes:
* how to configure tftpd
* how to start tftpd once the server has been configured.
* the implementation differences between tftpd for MPE/iX and tftpd
for HP-UX.
