Feature description

Step one would be to do a basic writable fat32 flash drive in ram that jetkvm exposes to the host.. kinda like https://docs.pikvm.org/msd/#writable-flash-drive but instead of the end user creating an image with the partition table of an empty flash drive of X size... just do it for them in ram.

The next step; it would be ideal to not use a big chunk of ram from the jetkvm for large files... so perhaps have the filesystem act more like a pip and hold until another end pulls.

Stream file transfers to and from the host.

1. The host sees a virtual writable flash drive.
2. When the host or web client moves files to the drive, it begins a transfer to a small RAM buffer on the JetKVM and waits.
3. Once the client or host starts the download, stream the file to the destination.
