Trivial FTP tftp server service installed by default on win2k server install?

[THELAIR]

Kinda confused about this.

I know almost all versions of windows include tftp.exe but if i am on a windows 2K Pro box and want to TFTP to a windows 2K SERVER box, is the 2K server setup to go automatically/defautly accept the connection?? Do i need to setup or install anything on the win2k server box to allow tftp connections in? I have looked in the services listing in win2k server and its not listed. Doesnt there need to be a TFTPsrvr.exe file somewhere on win2k server edition to allow remote tftp client connections in?

Clarrification would be appreciated, thanks.

please note im familiar with tftp and what it is, and what it does, but never used it in a windows environment only cisco.

dont have a win2k server box handy around to test this on

No you cant, I dont think tftp server is installed by default installation of win2k server.
I use tftp mostly to update firmware of my cisco and other networking device and I used 3rd party tftp server software.

In Windows, the ftp server is considered to be a component of IIS.

The server versions of Win 2000 and Win NT installed IIS automatically, and so ftp was also automatically installed.

Unless you install IIS or a third-party ftp server, you won't have an ftp server on Windows 2000 Pro, but you will on Win 2K Server.

You're confusing FTP with TFTP...
Windows 2000 Server uses TFTP primarily during Remote Installation of Windows to copy installation files to the client machine. Why do you need to use TFTP to transfer files from a 2K Server anyway?
