Yes, I have faced this problem. My unsolicited advice - NEVER upgrade an IOS across a WAN link.
Good luck.

I used "copy tftp: flash:" command on a Cisco 2620 router via telnet. It first erased the existing IOS from the flash and then start to copy the image from my tftp server, which is also running on my laptop. But the router will close the telnet session after certain period of idle time, and surprisingly close the tftp session as well. It ends up that the router's flash memory has no valid IOS stored! There is no technical staff on that remote site, and it is more than a thousand KMs away so I couldn't use a console cable to directly attach to it. I repeated the above several times, watched those "!!!!!" going on until the telnet session closed, and have to pray that there is no power surge happened to that router before I find a solution! Anyone faced this problem before? Please help! Tony -- __________________________________________________________________ Your favorite stores, helpful shopping tools and great gift ideas.
