TFTP is integrated in masterbranch, documented and tested.
PicoTCP app can act as TFTP server as well as client. Supports put/get
operations. Tested against tftp(d)-hpa.

What would you need for "network discovery"? Currently picotcp
supports the following protocols:
- IPv6 neighbor discovery
- IPv4 SLAAC (like avahi-style autoconf)
- mDNS (at the moment over v4 only)
- OLSR (automatic detection of neighbors and best route calculation to
N-hops nodes)
