Cisco ends TFTP support
While downloading some IOS binaries on the Cisco site, I came across an announcement that they are no longer supporting TFTP as of January 31st. Being that MANY of their older devices rely on this, I wonder how they plan on integrating their "new" FTP approach?
Anyone have any info on this?
Regards!

So they are discontinuing support for tftp, bout time. I wonder how many stupid question they get about something as simple as tftp?
Support will have to come from some other source I take it. You can only upgrade IOS to a certain point. Most of the new IOS's take too much RAM, the older devices don't support the newer software. What's the question here?????

tftp is one of the simplest forms of file transfer..
It's the telnet of file transfer protocols , no security measures etc..
Cisco seemed to have some trouble with it too, last year..

why would they need to use ftp?
i guess "speed" isn't a major issue but i thought tftp was no fuss.
is ftp more secure or something?

I have a $hit load of older 1600 series routers that cannot be loaded with the newest IOS that I need. I mean, I *can* add the newest IOS that only supports IP but I also must have the IP/FW IOS on my devices as they sit between networks that we packet filter.
I have no idea why they went to regular FTP but if anyone does find out, please post a message and I will do the same should I get the real story from our Cisco rep. I can't imagine that speed has anything to do with it. If I had to guess, maybe they are trying to simplify the update process.
