Just an FYI - looks like no more Cisco TFTP Server... Personally, I use a copy
of Solar Winds that I purchased a while back....

The Microsoft (r) Windows (r) based TFTP server previously provided by Cisco
Systems has been discontinued and is no longer supported by Cisco Systems. This
software suffers from a security bug described in
(http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/2886). Persons still using the server
should consider replacing it with any of the high quality freeware and shareware
TFTP servers. As a historical note, the Cisco TFTP server was released to
customers in 1995 and at a time when no other freely available TFTP servers
existed.
Today, there are many TFTP servers available, can be easily found by searching
for "tftp server" on your favorite internet search engine. Cisco does not
specifically recommend any particular TFTP implementation.
It is also useful to note that modern versions of IOS also support the use of
FTP instead of TFTP for loading of images or configuration files. Use of FTP
overcomes a number of inherent limitations of TFTP including a lack of security
and a 16 megabyte file size limitation.
