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.
