I have something in the back of my mind where TFTP was limited to 32
megs ... can't remember though if it was the specific TFTP server
used, or a general limit in the tftp protocol ... does CatOS support
scp?
Wikipedia - "The original protocol has a file size limit of 32 MB,
although this was extended when RFC 2347 introduced option
negotiation, which was used in RFC 2348 to introduce block-size
negotiation in 1998 (allowing a maximum of 4 GB and potentially higher
throughput). If the server and client support block number wraparound,
file size is essentially unlimited." I'd like to assume that Cisco
and/or Apple aren't using the original protocol specifications from
RFC783 or RFC1350, but based on some other feedback, it seems that one
or the other may in fact be guilty, but I don't have the means to test
that theory.
Sadly, CatOS 8.5 doesn't seem to support scp.
I managed to get rsh working on my laptop, which seemed at the time to
be far easier than trying to figure out why the Sup wouldn't FTP the
image off my laptop either *sigh*._______________________________________________
