Hello friend!
The differences between FTP and TFTP:

- FTP is connection-oriented, whereas TFTP is not.
- TFTP uses error checking and flow control, whereas TFTP does not cause error checking.
- FTP uses TCP as transport protocol, whereas TFTP uses UDP as the transport protocol.
- Authentication is mandatory in FTP, whereas authentication is not needed in TFTP.
- Just getting and putting applications effectively is the design concern of TFTP, whereas FTP provides more control and data connection aspects.
Hope to help you!

Hello friend!

Main differences between FTP and TFTP are

FTP uses TCP port numbers 20 and 21, TFTP uses UDP port number 69.
FTP is a complete, session-oriented, general purpose file transfer protocol. TFTP is used as a bare-bones special purpose file transfer protocol.
FTP can be used interactively. TFTP allows only unidirectional transfer of files.
FTP depends on TCP, is connection oriented, and provides reliable control. TFTP depends on UDP, requires less overhead, and provides virtually no control.
FTP provides user authentication. TFTP does not.

Thanks!
