Trivial File Transfer Protocol

Has anyone used TFTP on 4.2bsd? Everything else works fine, but when
we started up /etc/tftpd and tried to use tftp, it just gives "Error
code 2: Access violation".
Is it worth it? FTP gets about 60 Kbytes/sec between two of our
780's. That isn't bad, but ftp rides on top of gigantic TCP. It seems
wasteful to have a virtual circuit protocol under a file transfer
protocol. tftp runs directly on IP, but of course it executes its
protocol in user mode, so I really don't know if it will be faster.
