I have having trouble with the copy running-config tftp command. it is not working.
i have a 1700 series cisco router. I am connecting to it via the console port and the ethernet port.
i am putting in the IP address of the laptop. then specify the file name of a file on have on the root in the c drive.
i get the error msg. error opening the location and name of my file.
i installed solar winds tftp server but this has not helped either.
anyone else struck this problem during their ccna study?

Make sure you can ping the PC from the router first though. -

But the usual tftp issues/suspects are:
Security in your tftp server isn't set to allow downloading of files
The location where you put the file doesn't match the "tftp root" location configured in your tftp server
You are hiding common file extensions on your PC and don't see the .bin at the end of the IOS file name -- so you're using an incomplete file name in your command. c2600-blah is not the same as c2600-blah.bin
