[ask]TFTP problem

i have a problem backing up my router configuration to linux via tftp

here are the script in /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

Quote:

service tftp
{
protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /data/tftp_root
disable = no
}

i saved and exited the file and then i ran the command

Quote:

chmod -R 777 /data/tftp_root
chown -R nobody /data/tftp_root

and then i restarted xinet.d

after that i ping the server from my router and it replied back
and then i copied the running-config to tftp and this error message appeared

Quote:

error opening tftp://172.16.12.2/routerconf (permission denied)

did i miss something on the tftp server setting?

By default, tftpd will only allow upload of files that already exist. Use the -c option.

Try locally a small file to the tftp server. Put a file in there and see if the error is the same. May be also a write issue to the server.
