Hi,
Not all but a little info about rftp and tftp.

They both are totally different:
rftp = rapid file transfer program/protocol.
tftp= trivial file transfer program/protocol.

tftp is used by devices which needs to download some image/files from the server.
while i think rftp is a gui based utility like other ftp utilities and it works with windows only.But, it uses file transfer from unix to windows (& vice-versa) but in Unix format.

Some info regarding rftp:
