I used both pumpkin and whitehorn and I feel obliged to make a comment that I found whitehorn a complete product and I still use their last version whenever i have to do config on my old school network probes - Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.29.238.226 ( talk) 20:53, 6 March 2012 (UTC) Reply So far we haven't managed to make any money with it except for some adsense revenue and 2 (two) paypal donations. PumpKIN TFTP is a very popular tftp server and when I explored search queries statistics (don't remember where, though) it seemed that it was on top of all "tftp server" coupled with a name requests. While I am at it, I feel obliged to say they did promise to give credit, but there was no releases since their promise. Now that whitehorn seems to have disappeared I think I can say it aloud that it was a rip off of PumpKIN source (PumpKIN is opensource), a bit of change in appearance and marketing effort. I am not going to put a link that will be shortly removed myself, either. I am not going to conceal that I'm the author of the said software. I've read in history the discussion about inclusion of "Whitehorn TFTP" and thought that I may propose that you put a link to PumpKIN TFTP instead ( ). ![]() (I think ?)

Block-size negotiation extends it to a possible 4Gb in software that supports it (the RFC was from 1998). The article states a 32MB limit - I've personally transferred files bigger than this, so I think it's wrong? - Commking 06:23, 19 December 2005 (UTC) Reply I changed that line, it applies only to the original protocol. contribs) 10:50, 25 January 2005 I added an allusion to this in the article. ![]() Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.125.88.221 ( talk TFTP blocksize of 512 affected performance and so TFTP extensions in later RFCs allowed for larger blocksizes (via negotiation) which dramatically improved performance on networks that permitted large MTUs. TFTP may have been originally intended for small file transfers, but when diskless booting for workstations became hot, very large files (many MBs) were being transferred.
