COPY A FILE TO A DIRECTORY ON ANOTHER ROUTER USING TFTP

[JUANNN]

Hello,

I have a folder in the TFTP server router, in the flash memory:

I will like to copy a file from the TFTP client router to the TFTP server router, but specifically to the circled folder (not just to the flash). I will like to do this from the client router (I tried copy flash:filename tftp://4.4.4.4/bootflash/CRL_STORAGE but it didn't work. It said Permission Denied). 

Here is the TFTP commands on the server:

I can ping the loopbacks between client and server. I also put a log keyword on the deny any entry of ACL 1 wondering if it was that, and no hits. I think I just have the wrong syntax.

Does anyone know the proper syntax for this operation?

Thanks,

Juan

  - Routers don't offer tftp (services) ; use an external intermediate tftp server (platform) for your purposes ,

Hello,

Thanks, But I have done in the past actions like copying an image stored on the flash on a router via TFTP to another router's flash memory. I am no sure what Routers don't offer tftp (services) refers to.

Thanks,

Juan

In order to be able to copy from an external TFTP server to a directory in the bootflash: you have to firs issue the command on your router in global configuration mode:

tftp-server bootflash:CRL_STORAGE

After that you can copy to that directory in the bootflash:

copy tftp://TFTP_SERVER_IP/filename bootflash:CRL_STORAGE/filename

Hello,

Thanks. This works as a possible solution, even though the goal was to have the TFTP client to put a file on the TFTP server specific directory, using Cisco routers. This is, issue a command on the TFTP client router to copy a file from the client to the CRL_STORAGE directory on the TFTP Server router.

However, I decided to use a dedicated TFTP server platform and that way works, using:

copy filename tftp://IPaddServer/CRL_STORAGE/destination-filename

Still curious if there is a way to do it like I mentioned above though.
