[ale] TFTP problems with RedHat 7

[Sheahan, John (PCLN-NW)]

I am running the command:

"copy run tftp" from a cisco router
it then prompts me for the ip of the server, then the file name. This
normally works fine on solaris servers but not on redhat?

This is normal.  make sure when you tftp you do not specify 
the /tftpboot directory.  So to plase crap in /tftpboot you would do 
this

tftp server
tftp> put crap crap

Something on that line.
