Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP): A simplified version of the FTP protocol that is used to transfer files over networks. Unlike FTP, it doesn’t require user authentication and operates on UDP, making it faster but less secure. It is commonly used in devices like routers or IP phones for firmware or configuration uploads.
