# Examples
The [start/1](`tftp:start/1`) function starts a daemon process listening for UDP
packets on a port. When it receives a request for read or write, it spawns a
temporary server process handling the transfer.
This is a simple example of starting the TFTP server and reading the content of
a sample file using the TFTP client.
_Step 1._ Create a sample file to be used for the transfer:
```text
$ echo "Erlang/OTP 21" > file.txt
```
_Step 2._ Start the TFTP server:
```erlang
1> {ok, Pid} = tftp:start([{port, 19999}]).
{ok,<0.65.0>}
```
_Step 3._ Start the TFTP client (in another shell):
```erlang
1> tftp:read_file("file.txt", binary, [{port, 19999}]).
{ok,<<"Erlang/OTP 21\n">>}
```
