sending a stream in memory over TFTP

Hi All
I'm working on a programming project and i need a way to send a stream
of data in the memory over TFTP but WITHOUT writing the stream on the
hard disk
The question is (in another way) a need to make a file handle on my
stream of data in the memory so i can pass it to the TFTP client
WITHOUT writing it to the hard disk
i don't know if this is the right place to ask, so please lead me to
the right plase if it wasn't, and sorry
Thanks in advance

Go to http://www.advancedlinuxprogramming.com/alp-folder, chapter 5 -
Interprocess communication. Look for "Pipes".

I doubt that will work. If the TFTP client tries to seek on or determine
the size of the pipe, it will get incorrect information or errors. You'll
probably either need to write a TFTP client that knows how to send data from
memory or use a real memory file system.

well, I think that this depends on the TFTP implementation it self ..
if it does seek or request for the size .. anyway does anyone knows if
"atftp" does something like this ? an in case it does, is there any
TFTP client that doesn't
I'll try it anywhere
Thanks
