TCP

Stands for Transmission Control Protocol. It is one of the main protocols of the internet protocol suite. It enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. It guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent. 

TFTP

TFTP, which stands for Trivial File Transfer Protocol, is based around FTP technology but uses a different approach to how files are transferred. It is a stripped-down transfer protocol that can only be used to send and receive files. TFTP is best used when encryption or advanced security isn’t required. User authentication and directory visibility are not possible either.
