FTP (File Transfer Protocol) uses TCP(OSI layer 4-Transport layer-protocol) over IP (OSI layer 3-Network layer- protocol while TFTP (Trivial FTP) uses UDP(Another OSI layer 4 protocol) over IP protocol for transmission. It is to be recalled here that TCP is a connection oriented protocol while UDP is an unreliable connection-less protocol.
