TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) are both used for transferring files over a network, but there are several key differences:
1. TFTP is a simpler, lightweight protocol used for transferring small files or boot images, while FTP is a more complex protocol used for transferring larger files, directories, and more.
1. TFTP lacks authentication and encryption, while FTP supports them.
1. TFTP uses UDP (User Datagram Protocol), which is connectionless and less reliable than FTP’s TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which is connection-oriented and more reliable.
1. TFTP only supports read and write operations, whereas FTP supports a wider range of file operations, such as delete, rename, and create.
1. TFTP is typically used in environments with limited resources or for quick file transfers, while FTP is commonly used for more extensive file transfers, such as web hosting or uploading files to a server.
