warning: passing argument 1 of 'memset' makes pointer from integer without a cast

No, definitely not.

First, the compiler will issue a warning; second, using  memcpy()  to
store  a  single character is serious overkill - why don't you simply
use "tftp_filename[MAX_LEN] = '\0';" ?;and third - the real bug - the
strncpy will happily overwrite the 0 you placed there before.

Best regards,
