I always had these kinda problems both with FreeBSD, Linux, etc etc. Found various ways around them in the end but the best way is if you are running a version of IOS 12.0 or later on the Cisco then use the newer copy commands in IOS that allow ftp eg:- router> copy ftp://user:pass@box.whatever/config.cond startup-config much better than :- router> copy tftp startup-config Regards Andy > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG > [mailto:owner-freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Alfred Perlstein > Sent: 05 March 2001 18:23 > To: Jean-Christophe Varaillon > Cc: freebsd-net@FreeBSD.ORG > Subject: Re: - TFTP: Time out - > > > * Jean-Christophe Varaillon <jcv@vbc.net> [010305 10:17] wrote: > > > > +-----------+ +------------+ > > |FreeBSD 4.1|<--------->| Cisco 3640 | > > +-----------+ +------------+ > > > > I want to transfer a file from the FreeBSD machine to the Cisco. > > My machine is configured as a TFTP server and the cisco is "configured" > > as a client. > > > > The TFTP communication is stopped because of a timeout. > > > > Why should I have a timeout ? > > Because afaik tftp has a really terrible client/server notion, > there's no good way to tell if a client has 'gone away'.
