The primary use of Pumpkin is for the maintenance of networking equipment such as a router firmware upgrade that uses a TFTP server to fetch images. Pumpkin is also useful for transferring files between parties over a talk connection for conversation. Most of these features are currently found only on Windows.

Allows unlimited simultaneous transfers between a TFTP client and the TFTP server

An important thing to know is that Pumpkin is not an FTP(File Transfer Protocol) server, nor is it an FTP client. Pumpkin is a TFTP server as well as a TFTP client, and they function on different protocols. TFTP is used mainly to transfer files to and from network hardware(such as a router, hub, switch, backup and restore options) as long as the networking equipment supports TFTP. This is unlike FTP that is mainly used for serving downloadable files or retrieving files from other FTP servers around the world, basically meaning general purpose data exchange.

Another explanation of TFTP is that it is an Internet software utility that is used to transfers files in a much simpler way as compared to FTP. TFTP, unlike FTP, can be employed where user authentication and directory visibility are not required.

Currently, Pumpkin TFTP is free and open-source for everyone to use and edit, with its creator daring all to "punish" it as much as they want and make it better. Pumpkin comes in a light package of a file size as large as your wallpaper.

Pumpkin TFTP for Windows is brilliant software that allows you to use its protocol to transfer files from one computer to another over a network. I love how simplistic it is to use and the aesthetic of the windows are very visually cool to look at. Its easy for people of multiple computer skill levels to use and is also useable on Mac, not just Windows.

I love Pumpkin.  It's open source and a fully functional and free piece of software for the TFTP client and server.  I can implement block file transfers.  I downloaded it then got my company to use to it to maintain the network equipment.  It's a windows product only but that's fine.  My company only uses windows.  The unlimited simultaneous transfer makes it a powerful tool.

The Pumpkin TFTP for windows seems to be not only a reliable software but also needed. I work in the corporate world where we constantly transfer files. Having a system where I can safely send files takes only a couple of clips. It is also great to have the ability to customize the setting of Pumpkin. It is not difficult to operate which I appreciate.

This product is very easy to use and helps transfer all of your files. The idea is that it can transfer files from one computer to another using a network. It is important to remember that this software needs a server to work. The software is made better by the fact that it is not super open it is safe and secure which means that your files are not exposed.

The user interface is super easy to navigate. I was able to transfer all my files over to another computer through a network. I also have to add that it is indeed visually pleasing, you can not resist this fact.

James

Pumpkin TFPT is a straightforward program for using Trivial File Transfer Protocol to transfer files between different computers on a network. I use it because it's ridiculously customizable and open source. It's also convenient to have the TFPT server and client rolled into one piece of software. On top of everything else, it's free! (Unless you'd like to donate to the creator, which I would recommend for making such a useful piece of software widely available!)
