I suggest you learn the configuration.  You don't want a TFTP server
facing the world.  Restrict TFTP to your LAN interface.

Outside phones should certainly be using FTP.

I don't even bother with TFTP since it is not secure.  I use FTP in
every situation.

A savvy hacker can download your TFTP configuration files and use your
system for toll fraud or any other nefarious purpose.

Better safe than sorry.

Thanks,
