TFTP is a simplified version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). The primary
function of the TFTP daemon tftpd is to support the Bootstrap
Protocol BOOTP, which allows network devices to get the information
they need to boot, or start, themselves. Network devices commonly use
TFTP to transmit boot files because TFTP is simple enough to
be implemented in ROM.
On the HP e3000, the TFTP daemon tftpd transfers files to or
from the host HP e3000 to remote systems or printers. Configuring
tftpd on your system allows you to make boot files (and other kinds
of files) available to remote clients that support TFTP.
