TFTP port numbersīy default, TFTP Server is listening to UDP port 69, but you can make it listen any UDP port number, by changing the port number configuration at the TFTP Server. Then, a timeout will happen at the TFTP Server, and the lost TFTP DATA packet is sent again. If a Block of data is lost in transfer, TFTP Client will not send the acknowledgement message. When a block of data is received by TFTP client or TFTP Server, a TFTP ACK message is sent back to acknowledge the receipt of the Block of Data. To provide basic level of reliability, TFTP uses ACK messages to confirm the receipt of blocks of data. To keep the protocol simple, TFTP uses UDP instead of TCP at Transport Layer.
Please refer below table and then compare with the capture screenshot images provided at each steps below to understand the concept. Since the file size is 1,630 bytes, there must be four Blocks of Data packets, from TFTP Server to TFTP Client. The size of the file is 1.59 KB (1,630 bytes). In below example, we are trying to copy a file named "yamaha-rx100.txt" from the root folder of the TFTP Server to the TFTP Client. The size of last block is between 0 and 511 bytes. The last block is identified by its size less than 512 bytes. In TFTP, the file is divided in to different blocks of data consisting of 512 bytes, except the for the last block. Once the TFTP RRQ message or TFTP WRQ message is received at the TFTP Server, the data transfer is started either from the TFTP Server side or TFTP Client side. TFTP RRQ (Read Request) and TFTP WRQ (Write Request) messages are also are also used to establish a TFTP connection from a TFTP Client to a TFTP Server. TFTP WRQ (Write Request) message packet is used to write a file to the root folder of the TFTP server.TFTP RRQ (Read Request) message packet is used to read a file from the root folder of the TFTP server.
Mainly there are two types of TFTP requests. TFTP RRQ (Read Request) and TFTP WRQ (Write Request) messages What is TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).In this tutorial lesson we will learn how TFTP works and how a file is copied from a TFTP Server to TFTP Client.īefore continuing, I strongly suggest you to visit following lessons to understand the technical terms related with TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol).
