You may want to look at the mmfd.c/h library which is included into mmftpd and can be found at http://mmondor.gobot.ca/software.html What it does is custom buffering with the supplied functions, in mmftpd case it uses pth_read()/pth_write(), that is pretty efficient... It is released under a BSD-style license. The library comes with an mdoc manual page.
