show commands in cisco ios output to tftp ?

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

Cisco IOS Scripting with Tcl - Cisco Systems

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...

Wow I did not know you could do that. Awesome.

I just use the log feature in PuTTY/SecureCRT to log session output.

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 ..

The redirect bit gave me

TFTP: error code 4 received - Missing mode

Really? I use it for show tech all the time and never had an issue.

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!
