Continuing the ongoing series of articles devoted to custom implementations of Windows console utilities, we cannot help but touch upon TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) - a simple file transfer protocol. As last time, let's briefly go over the theory, see the code that implements functionality similar to the required one, and analyze it.
