NAME
       tftpd - DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server

SYNOPSIS
       tftpd [ directory ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Tftpd is a server which supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer Proto‐
       col.  The TFTP server operates at the port indicated  in	 the  ``tftp''
       service	description;  see services(5).	The server is normally started
       by inetd(8).

       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	 writ‐
       ten  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 appro‐
       priate 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.

       Access to files may be restricted by invoking  tftpd  with  a  list  of
       directories  by	including  pathnames  as  server  program arguments in
       /etc/inetd.conf.	 In this case access  is  restricted  to  files	 whose
       names are prefixed by the one of the given directories.
