General overview on where and why it may be used (tftp)

tftp : trivial file transfer protocol
tftpd: trivial file transfer protocol daemon
(The daemon is the server, the one without the daemon as part of its name
is the client)

tftp is a protol that can be used by any machine on the network to request
a file from a tftp server *without* authentication.

Normally, if you used standard ftp to get a file from an ftp server, you
would:
$ ftp hostname.here.com
Name (hostname.here.com:user): anonymous
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password: (not shown here, or echoed back with false characters)
