-.SH NAME
-tftpd \- DARPA Trivial File Transfer Protocol server
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B /etc/tftpd
-[
-.SM \-c
-<rootdir> ] [
-.SM \-d
-] [
-.SM \-r
-<filter> ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Tftpd
-is a server which supports the DARPA Trivial File Transfer
-Protocol.
-The TFTP server operates
-at the port indicated in the ``tftp'' service description;
-see
-.IR services (5).
-The server is normally started by
-.IR inetd (8).
-.PP
-The use of
-.I tftp
-does not require an account or password on the remote system.
-Due to the lack of authentication information,
-.I 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 concept 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 implications
-should be considered before enabling tftp service.
-The server should have the user ID with the lowest possible privilege.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-c
-Pathname of a directory that is considered the rootdirectory for all
-transfers. N.B.
-.I tftpd
-does not actually perform a
-.IR chroot (2)
-call; you should be aware of the security implications and you
-probably should run the server from an unpriviledged account.
-.TP
-.B \-d
-Increased debugging level.
-.TP
-.B \-r
-Pathname of a file that is considered to be a filter program. Whenever
-a client tries to download this file, the filter will be started and
-its output is send to the client. An arbitrary amount of these
-filters can be specified.
