Resolution
To resolve this problem, perform these steps:
- In the Cisco TFTP server program, select View > Options and uncheck the Show file transfer progress and Enable logging options.
In many cases, this prevents programs from crashing or transfers from not working properly.
Note: The Microsoft Windows based TFTP server previously provided by Cisco Systems has been discontinued and is no longer supported by Cisco Systems. For more information, refer to Cisco TFTP Server.
- If the TFTP transfer still fails after the options are changed, try a different TFTP server program. Search for a TFTP server using your favorite Internet search engine.
- If the transfer fails with a different TFTP server program, the issue may not be with the TFTP server.
If this is the case, verify these options:
- The file being copied to the router is in the TFTP server root directory.
- The filename is correct, including the case sensitivity.
- Connectivity exists between the router and the TFTP server. You should be able to ping between the router and the TFTP server address.
- No Access Control Lists (ACLs) or firewall features configured on the router block TFTP traffic.
- No firewall software is running on the PC, which stops TFTP traffic.
