TFTP Help!

[chasezz1010]

Hey im new to cisco (taking course for CCNA certf.) and i bought a cisco 2950 series switch to play around with and im trying to set it up to SSH. I have google'd a bit on how to do this and i've sort of hit a wall... i have downloaded the cryptographic image from cisco's website, installed a TFTP server (think this is where my issue lies) but when i do the copy tftp flash global command i keep getting the error accessing "xxxx" message.

I have tried allowing the server through windows firewall, disabling windows firewall, allowing access through the router... and still no luck.

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Can you post the error message please?

What TFTP proggie are you using?

[chasezz1010]

%error opening tftp://192.168.1.120/c2950-i6k212q4-mz.121-22.EA14.bin (timed out)

The TFTP is solar winds (also tried using winagent tftp server)

The switch i have is a cisco 2950 serier 12.ver 12.1(19)EA1c

Timed out means the switch managmenet VLAN IP address cannot reach your TFTP server.

What's the config of the switch?
