Actually I want to run a server on the board, so that anyone on the network can transfer files to it. So how easy would it be to implement something like this.
It is not exactly difficult, but it makes no sense either.
U-Boot is a boot loader, not a file server. If you need server functions, run an OS. Boot into Linux, fire up inetd and a FTP or TFTP server. Voila. No need to implement any new features.
