Trouble coping IOS--READ ONLY??

Hi all,

When I tried to copy my IOS to my TFTP server it is giving me an error message and saying something that the IOS is Read Only. I wish I copied the error message to post but I didn't. I will try to get it for you guys when I get home. I just trying to get a copy of my IOS on cd just in case something goes wrong.

Thanks,

Keith

I'm sorry! I meant what is the image name of your IOS (ex: c2500-js-l.12.0-23)?

No problem

This is what I get when I do a sh flash

File Length Name/status
1 16505800 c2500-jk8os-1.122-1d.bin
[16505800 bytes used, 271352 available, 16777216 total]
16384 bytes of processor board System flash (Read ONLY)

and this is the error I get when I try to send the IOS to my TFTP server.

%Error opening flash:c2500-jk8os-1.122-1d.bin (No such file or directory)

I've used my tftp server to send configs and I've had no problem. I don't know why I'm having trouble sending the IOS.

Let me see if I have this right, you're able to tftp to a router from your tftp server, but can't tftp from your router to your tftp server? Prior to attempting the tftp, were you able to ping your tftp server from your router?

shadown7

I can TFTP the configs files with no problem to and from the router. I can ping the router and the TFTP server with no problem. I've already sent the config file to and from the TFTP server with no problem.

This is the error message I'm getting when I try to copy the IOS to the TFTP server.

%Error opening flash:c2500-jk8os-1.122-1d.bin (No such file or directory)

are you trying to copy this config from the tftp server

and this is the error I get when I try to send the IOS to my TFTP server.

%Error opening flash:c2500-jk8os-1.122-1d.bin (No such file or directory)

the second line kinda makes me think that what command are u using

shadown7

No, I'm trying to copy the IOS to the TFTP server so I can put it on CD for a backup.

I'm using the copy flash tftp command.

thanks

I think he means in the filename. The error is showing that the file you are trying to copy doesn't exist, which means you are mistyping it, or have the extension wrong....or something.

I found the problem. You did type the wrong file name.

The file name should be c2500-jk8os-l.122-1d.bin. Not c2500-jk8os-1.122-1d.bin. You inadvertently typed in a number "1" where there should have been a lower case "L."

I'll try that when I get home tomorrow.

Thanks again,

Glad to hear that it's finally working.

you will also get these messages if you do not have write permissions to the folder / directory on the tftp server.
