2.2 TFTP Lighting Configuration
2.2.1 Introduction to TFTP
Compared with FTP, trivial file transfer protocol (TFTP) does not provide complex

z
When a file needs to be downloaded, the client sends a read request to the TFTP
server. It then receives data from the server and sends acknowledgement to the
server.
