Permissions error with TFTP to Ciscoworks

[abatson]

The following text appears, when I try to do an ad-hoc TFTP of a router config to Ciscoworks:

hq-C3640#write net

This command has been replaced by the command:

'copy system:/running-config <url>'

Address or name of remote host []? 10.1.1.11

Destination filename [hq-c3640-confg]?

Write file tftp://10.1.1.11/hq-c3640-confg? [confirm]

TFTP: error code 2 received - Access violation

%Error opening tftp://10.1.1.11/hq-c3640-confg (Permission denied) [Failed]

hq-C3640#

Doesn't Ciscoworks have a scratch area that is a sort of generic TFTP?

Did you have a file named hq-c3640-confg existing on the tftp server? Keep in mind that in order to write a file to tftp server, you need to create a file with same name on tftp server first. Otherwise, it would be security hole.
