The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simple lockstep communication protocol for transmitting or receiving files in a client-server application. A primary use of TFTP is in the early stages of nodes booting on a local area network when the operating system or firmware images are stored on a file server.

TFTP was first standardized in 1981[1] and updated in RFC 1350.
