-This server is known only to be self consistent
-(i.e. it operates with the user TFTP program,
-.IR tftp (1C)).
-Due to the unreliability of the transport protocol
-(UDP) and the scarcity of TFTP implementations,
-it is uncertain whether it really works.

-The search permissions of the directories leading to the files accessed
-are not checked.
