How do i enable TFTP? How is TFTP different from regular FTP?
 
You need to download tftp server and client software.
Basically TFTP used for transfer image file in networking device with flash ROM like upgrade/transfer new CISCO IOS.
You worked in networking device before you will know tftp function.
 
TFTP: Trivial FTP
It doesn't use user authentication, and other things...

Usually it's used to make remote boots, in diskless PCs. To download the file that boots the machine.
Or to restore PCs from fresh image disks (automatic installations)

I think you know well the use of the usual FTP.

To enable TFTP, you should install the package. Edit the tftp file in the /etc/xinetd.d/ ,configure it correctly and restart the xinetd service "service xinetd restart"

Good luck!
