TFTP timeout - tried many troubleshooting steps/Forum suggestions

Hello, I recently setup a new distro switch and VMware cluster (3 hosts).

I've got a Windows 2019 box running TFTPD64 and the other switches on my network can connect to it just fine and up load copies of configs. Perfect. 

This one switch (Catalyst 9300X) is giving me grief. I can see it connect to the server, it creates a file but it's 0 bytes, and empty. Then on the switch the command returns an error;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

UMSW1(config)#do copy run tftp://10.xxxxxxxx
Address or name of remote host [10.xxxxxxxx]?
Destination filename [umsw1-confg]?
!.....
%Error writing tftp://xxxxxxxxxxx/umsw1-confg (Timed out).....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can ping the TFTP server (it initially makes a connection that I can see in TFTPD64) but fails to write. 

I changed the default directory to something with no security, and even added the "everyone" group with full permissions to the security tab. 

Firewall is off for testing (other switches are able to write)

I tried to set the source interface on the switch, but it didn't help. There are technically two interfaces for the ESXi host, I tried both with no luck. I also tried the vlan interface for both the switch and the VM. (E.g.;

#ip tftp source-interface vlan 133

#ip tftp source-interface vlan 134

#ip tftp source-interface twe1/0/3

#ip tftp source-interface twe2/0/3

(I know it should be a port-channel it's on the docket, just too many other fires to fight first)


On the TFTP server I see this when I run the command to copy run tftp://10.xxxxxxxxx

The file writes to the DIR, but it's blank and 0 bytes. 

Feel like I've tried every tutorial and forum post out there to no avail. Help is greatly appreciated!
