RE: TFTP and UPNP


We have started using TFTP very recently, and so far have had good
success.  But, one limitation that will likely force us to switch to FTP
is the 16MB transfer limit.  If you're certain that you'll never need to
download something over 16MB, TFTP works great.

Andrew Lunn recently contributed an FTP client, in net/ftpclient. Have a
look at that.
