I'm sure someone else will have a better solution...however, if you
were to use http instead of tftp, you could then take care of the
filename transformation in your webserver, either via a very simple
cgi script or via something like Apache's mod_rewrite.

I'm not a Windows person generally, and I don't know if this would
actually apply to your situation.
