tftp uses UDP sockets, and nmap does a TCP scan by default.  Use the
-sU flag will tell nmap to scan UDP ports.

enabling tftp port 69

[Atuboyedia Christiana]

Hello,

 

I have a question that needs to be answered very quickly.  I have enabled
the use to tftp on my IBM T40 FreeBSD machine.  However, when I use nmap to
look scan the ports and to tell me what ports are open, port 69 is not on
that list.  However, I am able to tftp between two computers.  Can someone
tell me what is going on here and what I can do to enable port 69?  Thank
you.
