Looking more at the technical side, TFTP can be quite novel in its uses. However, the security of TFTP is very low. TFTP is ideal to configure for larger scale transfers of files, updates, workstation configurations, and more. TFTP is lighter weight and has a smaller footprint than FTP making it faster and easier to setup than an FTP server on Windows.

TFTP is ideal for transferring firmware updates, moving system images around, and other tasks that require far more functionality than form. The first T, however, stands for ‘ trivial‘, and belies its nature – TFTP is geared towards a much simpler, and thus less robust, set of needs as far as file transfers go. The write settings are applied, in this case, to not allow writing to the TFTP server.TFTP, as the name's similarity to FTP suggests, is a file-transfer protocol. The address 192.168.1.60 is included in the range specified in this row.The process continues to the second row of the access lists.Consequently, the read or write settings do not apply to it. 192.168.1.60 is within the excluded range. The first row in the access list is examined.If Use access lists is selected, the access list is checked. If Global Write is selected, the process continues. Let us look at the steps that would be traversed if we tried to write to the TFTP server from address 192.168.1.60: Attempts to read or write from 192.168.1.60 would fail.
In this case, the range is a single IP address. Read and write settings will be applied to addresses included in this range.The second line in the access list is INCLUDE.Attempts to read or write from address 192.168.1.98 would succeed.Attempts to read or write from address 192.168.1.105 would fail.In this case anything outside of the excluded range is unable to execute read or write commands on the TFTP server. Read and write properties are applied to all addresses outside of the range 192.168.1.1 – 192.168.1.100.The first line in the access list is EXCLUDE.The information in the access list is evaluated in descending order until a match is found. Read and Write: When selected, reading or writing capability is allowed.End IP: Defines the end of the range of IP addresses to use.
