# TFTP [TFTP](https://manpages.debian.org/testing/tftpd-hpa/tftpd.8.en.html) is a server for the Trivial File Transfer Protocol. The app runs as `root` user and drops privileges to `tftp` (9069) user for the TFTP service. > On every application start, a container will be launched with **root** privileges. > This will check the parent directory permissions and ownership. > If there is a mismatch it will apply the correct permissions to the TFTP directories. > When "Allow Create" is checked, the above container will also check and `chmod` if needed > to `757` the TFTP directories and to `555` when not checked. > Afterward, the `TFTP` container will run as a **root** user, dropping privileges > to `tftp` (9069) user for the TFTP service. > Note: You need to have configured DHCP server for network boot to work.
