| After copying the IOS from flash to tftp with out any trouble. I tried to copy it back using copy tftp flash. Everything seemed to go smoothly. A message came up indicating there was already a file by that name and I was asked if I wanted to overwrite it. I confirmed that, and thought everything was going well. However, when I checked the screen of the tftp server it showed this message.

The Cisco IOS TFTP client requests the image several times and each time the transfer is started over, you see state errors or other errors on your TFTP server. State errors on the TFTP server are perfectly normal. The TFTP client checks to make sure the file is valid for that platform and that the file system it is being saved to has enough space. The transfer is stopped to do those checks. This is transparent to the person on the router, but the TFTP server may print errors about this. If a Failed (State Error) is reported by the TFTP server software while upgrading the Cisco IOS software, and the Cisco IOS software file transfer is successfully completed, then this is due to a cosmetic software bug and can be safely ignored.
If a Failed (State Error) is reported while using the Cisco TFTP server software and the Cisco IOS software file transfer cannot be completed, the TFTP server software may be crashing. If this happens, on the TFTP server software, go to "View" and then "Options". Unselect the "show file transfer progress" and unselect "enable logging". Then try the file transfer again. | |

| Thanks darthfeces,
It seemed as though the copying went fine, but that message on the Cisco tftp server concerned me! It's great to have experts around to help. Thanks again! |
