The reason of my original email is because I've changed the source of tftpd to break that "file must exist first" rule. It's a bit hard (and inconvienient) to make the file from a Cisco router before uploading it. Our tftp server is in a relatively trusted environment and I'm sure this won't cause us any problems. > Hope that helps. Not directly but I appreciate your response anyway. BTW - After a bit more experimenting I couldn't figure out why the make process was generating the error but it seems it's irrelevant anyway. Doing a make then make install does make and install the updated tfpd even though some errors are generated.
