Does the TFTP even start? What is the error message you get?

If it is any useful I recieve the following error on the Target machine: "tftp: No se puede escribir en el archivo local 'c:\xx.exe'" (tftp: Not able to write in local file 'c:\xx.exe')

In a tcpdump in my TFTP Server I get the following error:
10:41:37.528994 IP TARGET.1942 > SERVER.tftp: 48 ERROR EACCESS no se puede abrir el archivo para escritura"
(cannot open file for writing)



Check to
see the permissions on tftp.exe (the SQL may not be properly patched,
but someone might have taken the time to secure some key executables
on WINNT directory according to best practices). If you have no direct
access to see the permissions on this file, check to see if ping.exe
works (another 'dangerous' executable that is usually secured along
with tftp.exe, dcpromo.exe, etc).

I am testing it in my own controlled environment. I installed the TARGET myself and it only has Windows 2000 SP4 with latest patches and SQL Server 2000 unpatched.
Ping works.
Besides, tftp works, but only with admin privileges.
