    Read that.

    And dude, TFTP is NOT FTP.

    TFTP is used for things like routers that don't have Hard drives to update
    configuration info and the like, it was made to have no human interaction.
    You don't use it for DL anything, if you want an FTP server that you can
    use to download files from and TO your computer, use VSFTP, PureFTP, or if
    you're into pain, ProFTP.

    .... The next time you're setting up a service, you really should do a
    google search or something to check into it. TFTP more than likely isn't
    what you're looking for but does add a lovely insecurity to your network.

    The tutorial I linked to is written by me, so I don't need to credit anyone
