Which fftp server is recommended for uploading IOS to the routers. I am getting a (No such device) on trying to copy the IOS to my router. Should you configure the ip ftp username or does anonymous work?

I think that some images are now too big for tftp.
64M hard limit with buggy older implementations limited to 32M.Some (at least) IOS can use ftp too.
serv-U ftp server is free (limited version but OK for IOS) and seems nice to me.
But, newer IOS revs *can* use FTP, HTTP, TFTP, SCP, etc. etc.
Anonymous will work. The router won't know the difference.
copy ftp:[[[//[username[:password]@]location]/directory]/filename] flash-filesystem:[filename]
So for example...
copy ftp://anonymous:pass@192.168.1.5/ftp/cisco-images/image-name.bin flash:
