One of the big differences is that FTP uses a pair of TCP connections (a control connection and a data connection) while TFTP uses UDP. UDP is far, far simpler to implement than TCP. Things like bootloaders for embedded systems often support UDP but don't implement TCP at all. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
