tftp

[Nobody's Hero]

I've been having a problem with CiscoWorks2000,mostly with tftp which is used to send out updates to switches and routers. Well, I tried to manually send a file using tftp and here is the error I get:

[ihshp6:/home/rmenefee]# tftp
tftp> connect ihshp12
tftp> put test
Error code 2: Access violation
tftp>


Any ideas?

I have a tftp user with an /etc/passwd field as:
tftp:*:510:1:Trivial FTP user:/home/tftpdir:/usr/bin/false

Two possible reason :-
1- File already exist on target and it doesn't allow tftp to overwrite it. If this is the case rename that file on target.
2- Corrupted tftp files. There are patches to resolve this (eg : on 11.0 they are ..)
a) PHNE_18377 (ftpd)
b) PHNE_20008 (ARPA)
c) PHNE_20735 (Stream)
These patches might be superseeded already.
