Adding to Laszlo's feedback, yes thank you for this feature! I have been using 
this tool on some systems (like the Raspberry Pi) for some time now. It is 
*very* useful for some use cases (such as transferring files from/to a remote 
system running in the UEFI Shell).

What is surprising is the time it is taking for the patches to be reviewed and 
integrated. If I remember correctly, it has been close to 6 months since v1 was 
submitted, correct? And so far, it looks like the review is mainly around the 
Shell command usage. I *think* the patches are still waiting for NetworkPkg 
maintainers review correct?

Thanks,
--Samer
