How can I set up a TFTP server

[exceeeduus75]

Hi All,

I downloaded and installed a TFTP server on my computer, followed the instructions but unable to transfer the binary files in order to upgrade my Cisco PIX Firewall router. I hope I am in the right forum for this type of question.
My question is : how can i set up a TFTP server on my computer?

Thanks in advance

Not a server. TFTP is a command line utility.

Lets say that the firmware image, which most likely is a binary image, is named pix.img, and the IP of the router is 192.168.1.1:

tftp -i 192.168.1.1 pix.img

See:

Hi bcastner,

Thank you for your response, and I will definitely give it a shot.

Then I better do the command correctly:

tftp -i 192.168.1.1 put pix.img

Hi Bcastner, Folks,

Problem solved, and this is what happened. I did not remove the ip address that was on the PIX firewall, this IP address was on a different subnet. I removed it and assigned it a new static address, and entered the following command at the router to transfer the binary files:

copy tftp flash .....
for the remote address, i used my computer's ip address, and bingo, it went through, able to upgrade the software .
