Hi everybody,
Unfortunately, I deleted my ASA 5515X completly. So the device doesn't boot, i got only the rommon prompt.
So I try to backup the image from a second equal firewall:
Laptop: 192.168.11.116
Firewall: 192.168.11.5
For the TFTP server I used "PumpKin" and the firewall is connected with the G0/1 Port on the laptop, using putty via SSH:
Router#>copy flash tftp
source file name? asa861-2-smp-k8.bin
remote host? 192.168.11.116
----
First, it looks good - but when the copy is "finished" i got this error:
%Error writing tftp://192.168.11.116/asa861-2-smp-k8.bin (Undefined error)
---
But when I look in the folder, there is the asa861-2-smp-k8.bin image with ca. 33MB. I tried it 3 oder 4 times......even the same.
It's very important for me, to fix it this week..... This are my "first" steps with Cisco and specially firewalls.
Thanks in advance,
sfinke

Hi,
Pretty much every problem I ever had with TFTP has always been related to the host acting as the TFTP server. Either there has been a problem with permission to write a file to the folder used as the root of the TFTP server or something else wrong with the server software.
I would suggest trying with TFTPD called TFTP server software. Or perhaps even with a different computer just to rule out possible problems with a antivirus / windows firewall on the PC.
You can use a single command to try to copy the file from the flash
copy flash:/asa861-2-smp-k8.bin tftp://192.168.11.116/

Hi Jouni,
thanks for you good answer. I tried tftpd32 and it works!!!
So, i had copy the image to the laptop and restore it to the broken firewall successfully.
But when I use the commands, I didn't see the image:
sh flash
sh disk0
---
So, even when I reload the firewall, the IOS is lost again. How can I save it permanently on the firewall?
Thanks!!!
//edit:
I fixed the problem by myself:
I must download the image again to my flash/disk...
ciscoasa#copy tftp://192.168.11.116/asa861-2-smp-k9.bin flash:/
and after the download once again, I select the image to the boot system
ciscoasa(config)#boot system disk0:asa861-2-smp-k9.bin
ciscoasa(config)#write mem
----
Done!!!
Thanks a lot and a nice week!
