I'm pretty sure that the Cisco TFTP engine only lets you "copy from". That
is, it will act as a server for the file specified and send the file.
You can copy a file _from_ a remote device, that is, you must be on the
console to copy into the router. Any error messages will appear on the
console.
I do not believe that you can copy to a Cisco router using TFTP when you
are not on the console. Reason - if the file you are sending is to big
(bigger than the flash available), how do you get an error ?, the flash
clogs up, and then since you can't delete and squeeze you would have to
reformat the flash.
