As per the the tftpd man, I've added the "-c" option into the /etc/ xinetd.d/tftp (as follows) but I still cannot get write access (unless the file is already present). [root@chl1 ~]# cd /etc/xinetd.d [root@chl1 xinetd.d]# cat tftp # default: off # description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \ # protocol.

TFTP: error code 1 received - File not found %Error opening tftp://10.58.2.204/labti-infra-3524xl-01-confg (Undefined error) LabTI-Infra-3524XL-01# LabTI-Infra-3524XL-01#copy running-config tftp: Address or name of remote host []? 10.58.2.204 Destination filename [labti-infra-3524xl-01-confg]? pippo.config !! 2327 bytes copied in 0.831 secs So, it means that the TFTP client can only *re-write* an existing file but not creating new ones, and this is the expected behavior if the "-c" parameter is omitted! What am I missing? Any suggestion really appreciated! TIA, DavideI had this same problem when trying to back up my switch configs. After some googling, I found a workaround for RH-based systems. The workaround is disable tftp in xinetd, and run in.tftpd manually. I never figured out why it would not work with xinetd.
Is xinetd installed? -Connie Sieh _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
