TFTP Configuration

Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple protocol to transfer files. TFTP is designed to be small and easy to implement; therefore, it lacks most of the features of a regular FTP. TFTP only reads and writes files (or mail) from/to a remote server. It cannot list directories, and currently has no provisions for user authentication.
