Mark is right. If you are using Unix/Linux system, tftp is a daemon that
can be setup to run automatically at boot-time. However, unlike windows
tftp, tftp in unix/linux requires that the file must already be exit
before you can upload from the router to the unix/linux box. It is a
minor inconvenience.
If you would like to automate these things, I suggest that you learn how
to program "EXPECT". This is a very easy language to learn. I work for a
ISP and we have to manage hundred of devices. Everytime we want to push
out something, Expect will do the trick for us. Very connvenience.
Have fun.
