I'm trying to pull several files off a Cisco ASA 5500, it seems for smaller files I don't have an issue but for larger files I hit a very odd issue.
Basic format in the Options screen for the "Device.CLI.Send commands" activity:
copy flash: tftp:
dap.xml
192.168.123.4
%ctGroupName/%ctDeviceName/dap.xml
copy flash: tftp:
asa917-12-k8.bin
192.168.123.4
%ctGroupName/%ctDeviceName/asa917-12-k8.bin
Here's the odd bit. The activity will error out because it "Did not receive echo of asa917-12-k8.bin" however once it errors out, the file is actually transferred and completes.
Debug output:

I've tried adjusting the timeout, all that does is put in a delay before the file is actuall transferred.
Any ideas (besides creating a backup activity for each file)?
Thanks!
