Hi

I have lost the flash memory in my Cisco 1751 router. I am trying to set up and copy the bin file from another identical router. can someone please help refresh my memory on the steps to setting up and using tftp to copy from the routers flash memory to my computer so I can then restore the file to my non working router. I am running Win XP with NTFS file system on my computer and connecting with Hyperterminal through the console port on the working router.

Been a while since I have done this. I never use hyperterm, I always use the freebie tera term. You will need a tftp program as well. I perfer the freebie solarwinds, never let me down. Just do a google on tera term and you should find the download easy enough.
On the good router:
Router> enable
Password: password
Router#
Router# copy flash tftp

Address or name of remote host [172.17.0.5]?
Source filename [rsp-dsv-mz.112-19.P1.bin]?
Destination filename [rsp-dsv-mz.112-19.P1.bin]?

I think the above lines are close to what you will see, it has been awhile.

Once copied to your laptop you can upload to the other router and then reconfigure if you didn't save your config somewhere. Cheers.

Poster rated this answer. Thanks Tom! I knew I was missing something thanks for the tip on the solarwinds TFTP server ( They have some other really cool programs as well) I simply didnt remember that there was an application that needed to be running for TFTP guess the school had that already in place and didnt make much mention of it.

Thanks again.

Tony
