TFTP
TFTP is designed for transferring files between processes with minimal overhead. It uses UDP and is easy to implement, making it suitable for inclusion in firmware or for booting diskless workstations and network devices. The TFTP protocol uses five message types - Read request, Write request, Data, ACK, and Error. It supports two transfer modes, netascii for text files and octet for binary files.

Explains TFTP for transferring files with minimal overhead, ease of implementation, and use in booting devices.
Describes the RARP process for diskless workstations to identify themselves and transfer boot files using TFTP.
Details the five message types of TFTP protocol, emphasizing that each is an independent UDP datagram.
Lists TFTP error codes including reasons such as file not found and access violations with respective values.
Describes TFTP transfer modes: 'netascii' for text and 'octet' for binary files with detailed conversion processes.
Final acknowledgment and thanks at the end of the presentation.

- 11. TFTP transfer modes“ netascii” : for transferring text files. all lines end with \r\n (CR,LF). provides standard format for transferring text files. both ends responsible for converting to/from netascii format. “ octet” : for transferring binary files. no translation done.
- 12. NetAscii Transfer ModeUnix - end of line marker is just ' \n ' receiving a file you need to remove ' \r ' before storing data. sending a file you need to replace every ' \n ' with " \r\n " before sending
