How to use OS X' built-in TFTP to update a LinkSys router ?

[Pascal]

Hi !

I have a LinkSys router that I wanted to update to the latest firmware for some reason. As you might know, this updating process requires the use of an TFTP application (provided by LinkSys on Windows, but that you have to buy separately for Mac OS 9).

Since Mac OS X has its own built-in TFTP application (available from the command line), I though of using it to update my LinkSys router... but I didn't succeed. Any ideas anyone ?

Here's what I typed :

tftp
connect 192.168.1.1
put /path/to/code.bin

But all I got was an error telling me that the file or folder "code.bin" doesn't exist...

Let me put it this way : it doesn't work !!! I still get the same error message (file or folder "code.bin" doesn't exist, although it does).

Any ideas why ?

Many thanks : your last explanations did the trick... it worked !!!
