Is there a way to run certain commands, such as 'show tech-support' and get the output into a text file tftp'ed rather than getting the output on a screen ?

It's probably going to be a tcl script:

expect script writing partial output to the file - The Tcl programming language

You can do it without a script, just use the following command:
show <command> | redirect tftp:[[//location]/directory]/filename
and to add the output to the file:
show <command> | append tftp:[[//location]/directory]/filename
Obviously, it works for tftp, ftp, scp, etc..."Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” -

I just use the log feature in PuTTY/SecureCRT to log session output.An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made. -

Crashed one me .. I suppose 'show tech-support' had too many lines or something .. same with xshellYou can do it without a script, just use the following command:

I did end up doing something different already though. We have a Linux server which has access to the cisco switches so I used the Linux command 'script' to get everything logged ..

hmm, error code 4 "I think" this is illegal operation but that doesn't help much
I generally use scp personally or good old copy & paste!"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.”
