What about NFS to a linux machine....all you need is a supercheap PC, load Linux, copy your file to it, setup your NIOS board for NFS, and boot. If you already have a Linux PC you&#39;re almost there already.

While I don&#39;t have much NIOS experience, I have done a lot of other Linux development on embedded platforms and have always utilized NFS mounts. This is much easier than creating a flash image everytime something changes and is meant to work as a mounted FS, so it gets around the FTP issue that you noted. SAMBA is similar, but to act as a connection to Windows FS--which throws many more variables into the mix.
