In this article, I am going to show you how to install and configure TFTP server on Ubuntu. Many electronics circuit boards, microprocessors also use TFTP to download firmware into the chip. Thin clients also use TFTP protocol for booting operating systems. The network boot protocols such as BOOTP, PXE etc uses TFTP to boot operating systems over the network. CISCO devices use TFTP protocol to store configuration files and CISCO IOS images for backup purposes. Instead, you need a way to easily upload files to and download files from the server. TFTP is used in places where you don’t need much security. As it is very lightweight, it is still used for different purposes. TFTP leaves out many authentication features of FTP and it runs on UDP port 69. TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simplified version of FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
