Redirecting show version to a text file

[CiscoUser73515]

I am trying to view "show version" output on a text file (.txt) using

"show version | redirect tftp://1.2.3.4/show_version_output.txt"

in the CLI, but I keep getting a Timed Out error. Any thoughts or advice on how I would be able to open "show version" on a text file?

Is TFTP service up and running on destination host?   yo can test it with copy paste something from flush to tftp destination host.

Hello,

could be related to the Tftp server software you are using. Try the free Solarwinds server:

here are the steps :

1. Make sure your TFTP Server running 

2. From the device are you doing show run - are you able to ping the TFTP Server IP address.

3. there is no Local FW denied your TFTP requests check.

4. down below simple TFTP Server most of them used

5. download portable run, select your IP address from the list from Lan address

6. show version | redirect tftp://1.2.3.4/show_version_output.txt

Hello

Another altenative would be to use the TEE command, which not only allows you to display the output yourself but saves it to file.
sh version | tee tftp://xxx/show_version.txt
sh version | tee flash:show_version.txt
