FTP = File Transfer Protocol
TFTP = Trivial File Transfer Protocol

By definition they are networking protocols, but the software implementation has the same name. Basically, TFTP is a subset of FTP.

FTP is more fully featured and has more in terms of user authentication than TFTP does. TFTP is frequently used for things like loading device configurations across the network (Cisco router configurations, Sun's Jumpstart host installations).
