atftp is a client/server implementation of the TFTP protocol that implements RFCs 1350, 2090, 2347, 2348, 2349 and 7440.
atftp stands for Advanced Trivial File Transfer Protocol. It is called “advanced”, by contrast to other TFTP servers, for two reasons. Firstly, it is intended to be fully compliant with all related RFCs. This include RFC1350, RFC2090, RFC2347, RFC2348 and RFC2349. Secondly, atftp is intended for serving boot files to large clusters. It is multi-threaded and supports multicast (RFC2090 and PXE), allowing faster boot of hundreds of machines simultaneously.
The server is multi-threaded and the client presents a friendly interface using libreadline.
This is free and open source software.
