We had to turn off our managment interface on our ASA 5520. Is it possible to save the configs by going out one of the other interfaces? I tried TFTP, FTP and SMB, but always get a "access violation". I created a file on the server, and gave it chmod 777. All of my other Cisco devices work fine to this server, but not the ASA. Any ideas?

So you don't have a console cable? Thats the easiest way.
and you don't have SSH or telnet enabled? If you have SSH enabled just login and do a copy run tftp and make sure you have the tftp server running on your workstation.

Of course, just do a "sh run" and copy and paste the output. It's not elegant, but it works. Is that what you were implying?
The second method, of copy-run-tftp, always fails, even though I can do it with a hundred other Cisco devices. The ASA attempts to write e.g. !!!!!!!!! but then it fails and says "access violation". Which, according the Internet, is always a message from the server.
However, I have solved my problem, and you have helped immensely. Five stars it is.
