PumpKIN is a free, open source application that is
used for exchange of data using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). PumpKIN
employs a simple, straightforward graphical user interface (GUI) and runs on Windows
95 and later operating
systems. PumpKIN makes it possible for a TFTP server and client to transfer large
files simultaneously.
TFTP is an Internet software utility for transferring files that is simpler to use than the File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) but
less capable. TFTP is employed where user authentication
and directory visibility are not required. TFTP is used mainly for the purpose of transferring
files to and from network
hardware
and not for general-purpose data exchange.
