p.s I have already tried some sites but couldn't find anything related to TFTP for file transfer. All i could find was the usage of TFTP for boot.

Hi,

You shouldn't use tftp at all! for file transfer use ftp (or even better sftp). Note that ftp (tftp) is readable by ALL and EVERYONE!!!

The only time you have tftp is to boot up diskless clients...
