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.

  • Implementation differences between tftpd for MPE/iX and tftpd for HP-UX.
