Chapter 17 Managing Firmware and Configurations Working with Software Images • Before uploading the image file, you might need to create an empty file on the TFTP server. To create an empty file, enter the touch filename command, where filename is the name of the file you will use when uploading the image to the server. • During upload operations, if you are overwriting an existing file (including an empty file, if you had to create one) on the server, ensure that the permissions on the file are set correctly. Permissions on the file should be world-write. Downloading an Image File by Using TFTP You can download a new image file and replace the current image or keep the current image.
