+TFTP Server
+###########
+
+:abbr:`TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)` is a simple, lockstep file
+transfer protocol which allows a client to get a file from or put a file onto
+a remote host. One of its primary uses is in the early stages of nodes booting
+from a local area network. TFTP has been used for this application because it
+is very simple to implement.
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service tftp-server directory <directory>
+
+Enable TFTP service by specifying the `<directory>` which will be used to serve
+files.
+
+.. hint:: Choose your ``directory`` location carefully or you will loose the
+   content on image upgrades. Any directory under ``/config`` is save at this
+   will be migrated.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service tftp-server listen-address <address>
+
+Configure the IPv4 or IPv6 listen address of the TFTP server. Multiple IPv4 and
+IPv6 addresses can be given. There will be one TFTP server instances listening
+on each IP address.
+
+.. note:: Configuring a listen-address is essential for the service to work.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set service tftp-server allow-upload
+
+Optional, if you want to enable uploads, else TFTP server will act as read-only
+server.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+Provide TFTP server listening on both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses ``192.0.2.1`` and
+``2001:db8::1`` serving the content from ``/config/tftpboot``. Uploading via
+TFTP to this server is not allowed!
+
+The resulting configuration will look like:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+  vyos@vyos# show service
+   tftp-server {
+      directory /config/tftpboot
+      listen-address 2001:db8::1
+      listen-address 192.0.2.1
+   }
