copying .bin file

Hi Peter,

You can accomplish this using either TFTP or FTP:

router# copy flash:c2600-d-mz.122-7a.bin tftp

You'll then be prompted to enter the IP addres of your TFTP host and the destination filename. If you'd rather use FTP, try:

router# copy flash:c2600-d-mz.122-7a.bin ftp

It may take a couple minutes to come down and you'll see the !!!!!!!!!!!! while it's downloading.

Hi Peter.

Ran into the same problem some time ago. Remember that if you use the ftp option you will have to specify the ftp-server username and password in the config-file of the router:

ip ftp username ip ftp password

You should make sure that your ftp server saves files in binary forms per default, as I do not know if the router will tell the ftp-server that the file should be saved in binary form. If the file is saved in ASCII-form it will be corrupted.

If you have the line:"service password-encryption" in your router config, the password will be hidden.

If you do not specify the username and password, the ftp upload will fail. This could of course be because I have not enabled anonymous ftp on my server, but anyway, if you have an ftp server somewhere in your network, you will have yourself created as a user.

Thank you that worked.
