Purpose

A plugin for StashHouse to offer the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).

Registers a plugin named tftp and provides a --tftp.port argument to configure the port to listen on. The plugin will prevent read access to files and only enable writing.

Usage

This package is a plugin for StashHouse. To install the program:

python3 -m pip install 'stashhouse[tftp]'

The following command-line arguments are available:

--tftp.port: Port to listen on (default: 9069)
--tftp.ack-timeout: Timeout for each ACK. (default: 0.5)
--tftp.conn-timeout: Timeout before aborting a connection. (default: 3)

For example, to start the TFTP server on port 8069

stashhouse -e tftp --tftp.port 8069

Security

The TFTP protocol lacks modern security mechanisms, such as authentication and encryption. Any file transfers involving TFTP may traverse through the network in a plain-text form. It is not recommended to use or expose TFTP over an insecure network such as the internet.
