Error writing tftp: what did I do wrong?

This command is incorrect: copy /noconfirm running-config tftp://192.168.10.45/C:\TFTP

The TFTP server is set to have one folder as TFTP root folder. This one is accessible to remote clients as tftp://192.168.10.45/. If you want a file to be uploaded, you need to name it, and its address will be tftp://192.168.10.45/myfile.txt. If you look at the command you entered, you are basically trying to save a file named "C:\TFTP", which cannot be created on a Windows system (colon and backslash are not allowed in file names). Try changing the command to

copy /noconfirm running-config tftp://192.168.10.45/my-running-config

I tried your suggestion. From the command line interface, this was the result:

Result of the command: "copy /noconfirm running-config tftp://192.168.10.45/my-running-config"

%Error writing tftp://192.168.10.45/my-running-config (Timed out attempting to connect)

From the SW TFTP server interface this is the result:

...PUT, Files exists, C:\TFTP\my-running-config.

...PUT, deleting existing file.

...PUT, Started, file name:C\TFTP\my-running-config.

...PUT, Files exists, C:\TFTP\my-running-config.

...PUT, deleting existing file.

ans so on ans so forth.

The end result is a 0kb file in the TFTP folder named my-running-config.

Any ideas?

I got it. Subsequently to the original question (I was attempting to do it via my wireless connection), I had to use a hard connection to the network. DOH, it's a different IP address for the adapter. I changed the IP address to coincide with the hardline and it worked!

Thanks,
