FTP vs TFTP
Major differences between FTP(File Transfer Protocol) & TFTP(Trivial File Transfer Protocol) Application layer protocols for file transfer:
FTP | TFTP |
General-purpose and hence, a more complex protocol | Special-purpose; much simpler |
Needs more memory due to its complexity | Needs very small memory |
Interactive | Unidirectional |
Greater overhead & reliable control needed. | Less overhead and no control needed. |
Due to above, it depends on TCP transport layer protocol | Due to above, it depends on UDP transport layer protocol |
Uses TCP port #20 as data port & port #21 as the connection port | Uses UDP port #69 |
Used over the WWW | Used only on local networks due to lack of security |
