Cisco TFTP Server Description

Cisco TFTP Server is based for Windows and gives users complete control and administration to serve files through the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). The interface is clean and simple with configuration and monitoring buttons at the top which give you a list of options such as Interfaces, Routing, DHCP Services, Administration and more, allowing you to manipulate the server and stay in control of how it is run.

Cisco TFTP Server was released in 1995 during a time when no other TFTP server was available as freeware; Cisco decided to discontinue the TFTP server due to its vulnerability to a security risk which allowed attackers unauthenticated access to arbitrary files and sensitive information. Professionals tend to prefer FTP servers instead of TFTP, as they overcome a number of security risks and are better for loading images and configuration files.

There is only one version of the Cisco TFTP Server (v.1.1) and is supported on Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/ and is no longer supported by Cisco.

Pros: Interface gives you complete control of your servers and monitors its transfers.
Cons: Security vulnerabilities, discontinued
