TFTP Backup to Centos
Hi there,
We have 2 Comware 5 switches, we are planning to implement periodic backup to a tftp server. When we try to execute below commands
1. tftp x.x.x.x put startup.cfg /folder/test.cfg
2. backup startup-configuration to x.x.x.x /folder/test.cfg
but both fails error message received on them respectively are as below.
1. File not found
2. Backup failed, TFTP error
But we have Cisco switches as well where we can backup to the same location without any issue. Please help to troubleshoot this.
Cheers

Re: TFTP Backup to Centos
Provided that startup.cfg file exist in the current folder (move to it by using cd command), does a:
copy startup.cfg tftp://x.x.x.x/folder/test.cfg
or a:
copy startup.cfg tftp://x.x.x.x/test.cfg
work?

Re: TFTP Backup to Centos
Hi,
I think you need to look at the permission on the destination folder on your tftp-server.
or - you need to set the -create flag on your tftp demon ( on Linux). I think for security reasons (on some reasonable reason -maybe ) that the destination file MUST already exist (and have the correct permissions writeable) to tftpd allowing to write it. This - to me - makes the tftp service somewhat not-useable, so I have enabled the tftp-deamon to create files (the -c flag - on Linux).

Re: TFTP Backup to Centos
Hi,
Are you really trying to copy the image from the switch to the tftpserver? (Why not just download it from HPE site)?
