Thanks Christopher, Well, there's really no default in Win environment as it depends on the TFTP server in use as there isn't one built into Windows as standard - in our case we've configured D:\TFTP-Root and are using that v. simple Solarwinds freebie downloadable TFTP server, known to many I'm sure. We've configured address of it within our Spectrum 9.2H06 under Configuration Manager->Information->TFTP Configuration->Default TFTP Host [table].
So I did double-check that that directory was writeable by the Windows user under which Spectrum runs (Spectrum Installation Owner). And of course it was ok, and this is why my query... the oddity is that the error happens on an Upload whereas capture (i.e. Download) is ok... so permissions on the TFTP directory are presumably not the issue... some other directory is the un-writeable culprit or it's a mis-reported error text for an entirely different error.

The Default TFTP directory is set under the Network Configuration Manager section under the SpectroSERVER's VNM model. On Unix/Linux it defaults to /tftpboot; I don't know what it defaults to on Windows. -- Christopher From: White Dan [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2012 8:33 AM To: spectrum Subject: [spectrum] NCM - snmp/tftp config upload - temp file location? HI all, I get 'Upload Error' - "The Spectroserver was unable to create a temporary file, Either the disk is full or permission is denied" It'll be the permissions. As the user running Spectrum I've tested creating a file in the TFTP-Root directory and various D:\temp, tmp etc - where is it trying to create it? Must be somewhere outside the Spectrum installation. No permission problem with any location that I've tried. Anyone know? The user running Spectrum isn't an Administrator which is the problem... Spectrum 92H6, Win2008. Cheers Dan.
