The Tftp Protocol

TFTP is a simple protocol used to transfer file. It was designed by Noël Chiappa. Its second version (TFTPv2) is described by the RFC 1350.

TFTPD32 supports the Get and Put command, but does not support the netascii transfer mode (does someone really need it ?), nor does it support the extensions described into the RFC 1782 to 1785.


Getting Started

TFTPD32 is designed for

Windows NT

Windows 95

Windows 98

TFTPD32 needs only its executable file to be run.

Start it, and the following window will appear :

TFTPD32 is already listening for incoming request.


Tftpd Setup

TFTPD32 allows the user to modify the default directory (used both for read and write request),  the security behavior and the communication parameters.

The base directory can be changed  at any time, however it does not affect the current transfers.

3 security states are defined :

· None    	The client application can read and write any file.

· Standard	The file to be transferred should be into the base directory.

· High      	The file to be transferred should be into the base directory.

               	Moreover TFTPD32 will only accept a write request if the file exists and is empty.
