The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) transfers files from
a BOOTP server to diskless clients or other remote systems. The
client initiates the file transfer.
When the client receives the configuration information in the
BOOTP response, it sends a request to the TFTP server host named
in the response. This request is necessary only if the client
must retrieve the load file.
If the client sends a read request (RRQ) to the TFTP server, the
server attempts to locate the file.
Configuring and managing TFTP on your OpenVMS host involves the
following tasks:
o Configuring the TFTP and BOOTP components using TCPIP$CONFIG
o Monitoring the TFTP and BOOTP processes
o Using management commands to enable and disable TFTP and to
configure TFTP in the service database
