ftp?   *bwarp* wrong answer.

tftp  !=  ftp.

tftp is the "_Trivial_ File Transfer Protocol".  If Unixware even
ships with a tftpd, you'll probably need to enable it in
/etc/inetd.conf, if not, you'll have to download [and port] the source
for an existing one.  also try consulting 'man tftpd'.

tftp is evil in many ways - and there are a surprisingly large number
of semi-broken implentations.  The *BSD ones all work properly AFAIK,
but beware the linux implementations, of which half are broken, and
the other half are patched in inconsistant ways.
