Check the read/write permissions on the server.  This error message means the read permission is not allowed.

Who manages the TFTP server where the config file is hosted?

[Rich R]

Actually it could be read or write permissions as he's trying to write the file to the server right?

Permissions depend on the server but if it's a unix/Linux server then normally the file needs to exist and be world writable before a TFTP client can write to it.

So if the file does not exist: touch ciscowlc.cfg

And make sure the file is world writable: chmod 666 ciscowlc.cfg

If you're using some other TFTP server on Windows for example you'll need to check the server settings and folder permissions.

Hope that helps
