Answer / bob smart
FTP uses TCP/IP Protocol and is connection orientated -
this means that it uses error checking and flow control
where TFTP does not - it uses the basic UDP connectionless
protocol, so no error checking or flow control.

TFTP -- Uses UDP as transport protocol
FTP -- Uses TCP as transport protocol.
2.
No need of authentication in TFTP where as authentication
is compulsary in FTP.
3. TFTP is designed to use just get and put application
effectively as protocol itself is very small. Everything is
copied back in /tftpboot.
FTP is advanced that TFTP provides more control and data
connection concept.

Answer / Ram Pravesh Sahni
TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) and FTP (File Transfer Protocol) are both network file transfer protocols, but they have some differences: (1) TFTP does not require a username or password for authentication. It is typically used in simple devices such as routers and printers. FTP requires user authentication and offers more features such as directory listing, uploading, and downloading files. (2) TFTP only supports ASCII and octet data types, while FTP supports binary, ASCII, and EBCDIC data types. (3) TFTP does not offer error recovery mechanisms like FTP.
