@@@STARTPACK(tftpd;tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server)
<P>
Tftpd is a server which supports the DARPA Trivial File
Transfer Protocol. The TFTP server operates at the port
indicated in the ``tftp'' service description; see
services(5). The server is normally started by inetd(8).
<P>
The use of tftp does not require an account or password on
the remote system. Due to the lack of authentication
information, tftpd will allow only publicly readable files
to be accessed. Files may be written only if they already
exist and are publicly writable. Note that this extends
the concept of ``public'' to include all users on all
hosts that can be reached through the network; this may
not be appropriate on all systems, and its implications
should be considered before enabling tftp service. The
server should have the user ID with the lowest possible
privilege.
<P>
Access to files may be restricted by invoking tftpd with a
list of directories by including pathnames as server pro-
gram arguments in /etc/inetd.conf. In this case access is
restricted to files whose names are prefixed by the one of
the given directories.
</P>
