SolarWinds TFTP Server was developed by SolarWinds as a brand. Typically, TFTP is applied in situations such as transferring configuration files, backing up of configuration files, firmware updates, et cetera. Its small size, and its simplicity, are what make it suitable for use in situations where resource usage will not be a concern. It is simple and operates with low overhead to carry out file transfers faster and more efficiently. Based on this, it is not recommended to use TFTP in moving files or sensitive information on the internet.Īlso, TFTP does not have certain features that you find in more advanced file transfer protocols. Now, FTP and SFTP are secure and more robust file transfer protocols but TFTP is not. TFTP with UDP provides connectionless communications between Hosts and is most commonly used where File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is not necessary. Packets are sent with no form of acknowledgment or confirmation. The communication is such that a Host sends a request for a file to the Server, and the Server responds with the file, but there is no connection established before the sending and receiving of the data. This TFTP Port 69 is used in the communications between a Host and a Server. TFTP otherwise known as Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a very simple protocol that functions using UDP (User Datagram Protocol), and the TFTP Port is Port 69.
