Hey ppl,

This is probably something very basic i'm doing wrong but I can't seem to
get aorund it after reading the man page, it goes between error 2 and 1, im
trying to tftp from a cisco router to my linux box.

my in.tftpd.conf file looks like this:

INTFTPD_PATH="/usr/tftp"
INTFTPD_OPTS="-l ${INTFTPD_PATH}"


and ive done a chmod 777 on the above path just to be 100% sure there are no
permission problems even though the tftp is running as root.

Heres the full snipper from cisco when i try and tftp it:

gw0#cop flash:1:c820-k9osy6-mz.122-15.T5.bin tftp
Address or name of remote host []? 10.100.0.1
Destination filename [c820-k9osy6-mz.122-15.T5.bin]?
TFTP: error code 2 received - Only absolute filenames allowed

%Error opening tftp://10.100.0.1/c820-k9osy6-mz.122-15.T5.bin (Permission
denied)
gw0#



If I try and add the path:

gw0#cop run tftp
Address or name of remote host []? 10.100.0.1
Destination filename [gw0-confg]? usr/tftp/gw0-config
TFTP: error code 2 received - Only absolute filenames allowed

%Error opening tftp://10.100.0.1/usr/tftp/gw0-config (Permission denied)


Any ideas??

Thanks

Ben
