Hi All,

ok, I did the following in Fedora3 in the tftpboot dir,

touch running-config
chmod 777 running-config

in tftp I did the following,

tftp> connect 192.168.2.12 69
tftp> status
Connected to 192.168.2.12.
Mode: netascii Verbose: off Tracing: off
Rexmt-interval: 5 seconds, Max-timeout: 25 seconds

but, still get the following,

Switch#copy run tftp
Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.2.12
Destination filename [running-config]?
.....
%Error opening t»ftp://192.168.2.12/running-config 
<ftp://192.168.2.12/running-config> (Undefined error)

Cheers.
