Hmm. I have tried pico_tftp_get() and now I have several questions:

1. pico_tftp_get() has 3rd argument 'int32_t len'.
This 'len' argument is actually unused. Can we just drop it?


2. here is pico_tftp_get() example fragment:

        len = pico_tftp_get(session, buf, PICO_TFTP_PAYLOAD_SIZE);
        if (len < 0) {
            fprintf(stderr, "Failure in pico_tftp_get\n");
            close(fd);
            countdown = 1;
            continue;
        }
        ret = write(fd, buf, len);

pico_tftp_get() copies data to pointer buf. But the first four bytes are not raw file
data but tftp header fields.
E.g. I receiving GPL text via pico_tftp_get():

first tftp data block:

Here is a original GPL file dump, you can see that substring ' your fr'
is missed in data received by pico_tftp_get():

000001d0:  20 50 75 62 6c 69 63 0a  4c 69 63 65 6e 73 65 20   Public.License

So data block written to file by
    ret = write(fd, buf, len);
is corrupted.

Could you please check this?


3. there is the find_session_by_socket() function. It uses special tftp_sessions list.
Can we simply use priv field in 'struct pico_socket' for this purpose?


4. How I can determine "End Of File reached" situation after pico_tftp_get() call?
