This is what I guessed, backup of Cisco IOS and/or Cisco config files. That is precisely where my expertise in TFTP originates Smilie

To backup the IOS, you will have to touch a file (and give open permissions) to the same name of the file you are saving. When you do a 'write net' on the Cisco boxes, it will ask for the name/ip of the TFTP server AND the name of the file (the Cisco IOS gives a default). That file MUST exist in the TFTP directory of the server.

So before you do a 'write net' you much touch a file with the same name as the file you are writing. For example, on the server:

Code:
cd /etc/tftp
touch cisco-ios-dec-05-v11.03a
chmod 666 cisco-ios-dec-05-v11.03a

On the router you would then 'write net' file name, cisco-ios-dec-05-v11.03a. (use your own file names). The confusion most people have is that the file must exist in the TFTP directory in order to write it from a device, like the Cisco IOS. To read the file (get), you must know the exact name of the file you are 'getting'. Same is true for Cisco configurations:

Code:
cd /etc/tftp
touch router-bigmomma-new-access-lists-dec-06
chmod 666 router-bigmomma-new-access-lists-dec-06

I forget the exact Cisco syntax, so if you need help in that area, please login to the router from an X or other GUI telnet session and use the mouse to capture the screen (Cisco console) and upload to this thread. I can help you through the 'write net' and other commands between the Cisco IOS and your UNIX TFTP platform.

Net::CLI::Interact::Manual::Phrasebook(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	       Net::CLI::Interact::Manual::Phrasebook(3pm)

NAME
Net::CLI::Interact::Manual::Phrasebook - List of Supported CLIs INTRODUCTION
The bundled phrasebook includes support for a variety of network device CLIs. Many were contributed by users of the module. If you set up a new CLI dictionary, please consider contributing it back! The phrasebook specification is given in Net::CLI::Interact::Phrasebook. For each supported CLI, there is a name which must be passed in the "personality" option to Net::CLI::Interact's "new()" method. After that, you can call the included Macros, and the module will use the included Prompt to match the current state of the CLI. More information is available in the Tutorial and Cookbook. Below is a list of all current bundled CLI dictionaries. Each lists its name, the available Prompts, Macros and Continuations, and from which other CLI dictionaries it inherits. IOS # Cisco IOS CatOS # for older, pre-IOS Cisco devices PIXOS # for PIX OS-based devices PIXOS7 # Slightly different commands from other PIXOS versions FWSM # currently the same as 'PIXOS' FWSM3 # for FWSM Release 3.x devices (slightly different to FWSM 2.x) JunOS # Juniper JUNOS support HP # HP support Nortel # Nortel support ExtremeOS # Extreme Networks support Foundry # Foundry/Brocade device support PERSONALITIES
Cisco This personality goes by the name of "cisco" and provides a basis for many other CLI dictionaries. Prompts are "basic", "privileged", "configure", "user", and "pass". Macros are "begin_privileged", "end_privileged", "begin_configure", "end_configure", and "disconnect". CatOS This personality goes by the name of "catos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "privileged" Prompt. Additionally it also provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size. ExtremeOS This personality goes by the name of "extremeos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additional Prompts are "basic", "privileged", "configure", "user", and "pass". Additional Macros are "begin_privileged", "end_privileged", and "disconnect". Foundry / Brocade This personality goes by the name of "foundry" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Before connecting to the device you probably want to set the output separator to be: $nci->transport->ors(" "); For users of Net::Appliance::Session this should be: $session_obj->nci->transport->ors(" "); IOS This personality goes by the name of "ios" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size. HP This personality goes by the name of "hp" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "basic" and "user" Prompts. JunOS This personality goes by the name of "junos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "privileged", "configure", and "user" Prompts. Additionally it also provides the "begin_configure" and "paging" Macros. Nortel This personality goes by the name of "nortel" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "user" Prompt. PIXOS This personality goes by the name of "pixos" and inherits from the "cisco" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size. It can be used in its own right for Cisco PIX firewalls, but is also used as a base for other dictionaries. PIXOS 7 This personality goes by the name of "pixos7" and inherits from the "pixos" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size. FWSM This personality goes by the name of "fwsm" and inherits from the "pixos" dictionary. It provides no further functionality, as Cisco FWSM software version 1 and 2 was the same as the PIX OS. FWSM 3 This personality goes by the name of "fwsm3" and inherits from the "pixos" dictionary. Additionally it provides the "paging" Macro to set the terminal page size. perl v5.14.2 2012-06-12 Net::CLI::Interact::Manual::Phrasebook(3pm)
