FTP:
-File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet.
-FTP is a client-server protocol where a client will ask for a file, and a local or remote server will provide it.
-FTP provides an authentication mechanism for clients to access files on the server. It also provides the ability to upload and download files.
TFTP:
-Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a simplified version of FTP that does not provide authentication or security features.
-TFTP is typically used for automation processes and in situations where an FTP server is not available. It is commonly used to download configuration files to network devices such as routers and switches.
-While TFTP is capable of sending and receiving files, it is not designed to be a general-purpose file transfer protocol, and should only be used when other protocols are not available.
