Just trying to backup to a tftp server.

I'm using write net x.x.x.x:filename.bin, but I keep getting

Building configuration...
TFTP write '/tftpboot/filename.bin' at x.x.x.x on interface 1
File not found
[FAILED]

Any thoughts ??

 
What tftp server are you writing to? Is the file created on the tftp server? If not create it. If it is linux/unis make sure the file has permissions for it to be written to.
 
I'm using Suse Linux 10. It's very weird. I open the firewall on the same Linux box to let the tftp service in, yet the tftp service says that the firewall is diabled. Nonetheless, you're right. I think I read somewhere that I have to create the file first. Tftp for windows is so much easier, but I'm trying to move away from them. Thanks.
