Hi,

Please check if have firewall enabled on the PC. If it is enabled disable it or open port 69 ofr tftp.

I too had this problem.

When I was trying to copy from tftp to flash , the transfer would start and then would terminate in the middle and would give the error "timed out"

I could even see in the tftp server logs that the transfer was happening and suddenly stopped. I was using tftpd32

Later I found out the reason to be duplex mismatch

I went to interface config and then corrected the duplex setting and the transfer happened perfectly.

Hope this response helps those for whom transfer stops due to this error.
