[Cisco TFTP, a Windows 2000 service, builds and serves files consistent with the Trivial File Transfer Protocol. TFTP represents a simplified version of the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Cisco TFTP serves embedded component executable, ringer files,and configuration files.]

TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is used in Cisco Routers to upload a new IOS image onto the router or to back up an existing image onto a disk and then to upload a new IOS image. Most of the times, TFTP is used for this purpose; while it can also be used to upload/backup configuration files too.
A cisco router can itself act as a TFTP server for another router. You can also setup a TFTP Server on any windows machine. Check this link on download.com for some of the availabel TFTP suites."http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=tftp&tg=dl-2001"

In windows 2000, TFTP is also available as a windows Service.
