  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
