Any particular reason why you want to use tftp? It is the stupidest protocol
I have come across as it is a simple stop and wait protocol that does not
even work properly sometimes across devices on the same LAN or thro' serial
lines.
tftp is very simple to implement and thus has found its way into
the firmware (bios) of several computers. My old Alphastation and
SGI Indy bootroms had a tftp client and could diskless boot off the
network. tftp is still being used to load kernels on diskless nodes.
The possibility that the OP is using an embedded or diskless
computer could not be far fetched, given that he's posting from
a Midas Comm email ID.
