Can you check

1) Whether the file "firewall.config" already exists. I'm not sure it should have to with Windows tftp but you could try creating it and then writing your config.

If that makes no difference i suspect it may be the path ie.

you have "tftp-server 1xx.36.193.69 /"

are you sure the is no further path under that eg.

"tftp-server 1xx.36.193.69 /tftp"

Sounds like it may be more of an issue with your TFTP server. What TFTP server is it ?

If unix/linux based you usually have to create an empty file with the name of the tftp file ie. on a linux system "touch firewall.config" in the tftp server directory would create the empty file.

If it's not unix/linux then sometimes you need to add part of the TFTP server path to the write .. command for it to work.

Either way i would look at your TFTP setup rather than the actual pix as the issue.
