FTP IOS transfers 1

[eurobadger]

Hi

Has anyone managed to get an IOS to copy from an FTP server to a router? There is a size limitation of 16MB on (most) tftp servers. 3Com's tftp daemon is supposed to work with IOS's bigger than 16 meg. Trouble is I only have a 1750 to play with, so I cannot use real IOS file that are big enough to test it.

However FTP is also available, and I am trying to move the 1750 IOS about using this.
I have managed to copy an IOS to a PC using anonymous FTP with Meteor FTP server. However trying to copy to the router fails witha protocol error.
I have also tried WAR FTP, and the FTP element of 3Coms combined tftp/FTP server, but these both fail to handle the anonymous login for copy to or from the server.

If anyone can confirm the 3Com tftp daemon does the job properly then I will go with that.

Thanks
EB

I've used this, when you set up the FTP user name and password on the router I found that you need to also issue `no ip ftp passive'command. The router defaults to passive FTP and my server didnt support that option.

Before discovering this the router logged into my FTP server OK but then came up with a protocol error.
