NAME
	  tftpd	- The DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server

     SYNOPSIS
	  tftpd	[directory ...]

     DESCRIPTION
	  The tftpd daemon is a	server that supports the DARPA
	  (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Trivial File
	  Transfer Protocol.  The TFTP server operates at the port
	  indicated in the tftp	service	description; see services(4).
	  The server is	normally started by inetd(8).

	  The use of tftp does not require an account or password on
	  the remote system.  Due to the lack of authentication	infor-
	  mation, tftpd	will allow only	publicly readable files	to be
	  accessed.  Files may be written only if they already exist
	  and are publicly writable.  Note that	this extends the con-
	  cept of ``public'' to	include	all users on all hosts that
	  can be reached through the network; this may not be
	  appropriate on all systems, and its implication should be
	  considered before enabling tftp service.  The	server should
	  have the user	ID with	the lowest possible privilege.

	  Access to files may be restricted by invoking	tftpd with a
	  list of directories and including pathnames as server	pro-
	  gram arguments in /etc/inetd.conf.  In this case, access is
	  restricted to	files whose names are prefixed by the one of
	  the given directories.

     FILES
	  /usr/sbin/tftpd
	       Specifies the command path
