Cisco Micro Webserver 200 TFTP issues...

[kittenhammer]

Howdy all; I wasn't quite sure where to put this, so here it is =P

I'm attending a Cisco-centric networking program at a tech school. I've been asked to play around with a Cisco Micro Webserver 200; we hope to use it as a TFTP server in our Internetworks lab. We have no documentation/discs for this little black box, but I've been able to get a pretty good grasp of everything (its interface is familiar, thank goodness). Cisco's site doesn't seem to have any information relevant to my situation either... the MW200 is apparently a dead product so I'm not surprised.

I've started the TFTP daemon, but trying to perform a TFTP upload gives the error at the server console "TFTP server: does not pass request verify." The TFTP client gives the error "Error on server: Access violation."

I have set the permissions on the TFTP directory to allow read/write for everyone... I don't understand how this would be relevant to a remote user but I guess it was worth a shot. I've tried multiple TFTP clients. I wondered if I had to define trusted IPs to perform TFTP transfers, but after scouring the config mode, I can find no such option.

I was under the impression that TFTP does not natively support authentication; am I wrong? Any ideas would be much appreciated... and if you know of an online location with a detailed manual for the server, I'd love to know.

Thanks,

TFTP does work on the 200.. I have a 100 here I use in my lab. But, it failed on the PIX uploads.. dont know why, I did not have the time to figure it out. But it works fine on the IOS loads for the routers.

There is documentation on the server but it's cryptic at best. And the command line is even worse. Normally for the TFTP to work, you just enable it by clicking on the check box and giving a path to the directory.. there will be two of them.. one for uploading and on for downloading if I recall correctly.

I can cut and paste my config if you want.

I'd really appreciate that... all I'm working from at this point is educated guesses and extrapolation from the current config!
