Can anyone explain me the difference between TFTP and FTP application layer protocols? Deandre 22-September-2007 06:50:24 PMComments TFTP uses UDP protocol and FTP uses tcp/ip protocol. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102737 Posted by Hash007 The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) allows a local host to obtain files from a remote host but does not provide reliability or security. It uses the fundamental packet delivery services offered by UDP. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the standard mechanism provided by TCP / IP for copying a file from one host to another. It uses the services offered by TCP and so is reliable and secure. It establishes two connections (virtual circuits) between the hosts, one for data transfer and another for control information.
