Automated config.cfg backups (TFTP?) 1

Hey guys,

I've been looking at getting the config via TFTP automatically (little batch script) but all I could find were commands like:
tftp -i xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx get nasystem/config/{password} config_backup.txt

Most of them actually work like nasystem/who_is and nasystem/user_list2 but I can't get the config - no matter if I try with or without the hashed password (which can be found in a backup of the configuration)

In some older posts (most of them in this forum) it said getting the config would work without a password completely, some time later posts with the aforementioned /{password} appeared but as of now (9.0.3, IPO 500v2) nothing seems to work.


Basically my question is if there currently is a way to get the config via TFTP (or some other automated method, TFTP was just the first one I found) for regular backups (not my idea but one of my customers asked me if automated backups were possible)


Thanks for any help or advice you can give me :)

You need to get authenticated through port 50804 first and then you can get the config with tftp.
A simpler way is to write a script which gets the file from address>/config.cfg, that is only possible if the web service is on ( default ).

First of all thanks for your answer! :)

I tried the http: way but all I got was "Embedded File Server File Access Blocked" although I set Web Service to "Secure, Low" (there is no unsecure option or anything like it)
Then I tried checking "TFTP Configuration Read" under System -> Unsecured Interfaces but still no luck with tftp
I tried:
tftp -i 192.168.152.10 get config config.cfg - NotFound
tftp -i 192.168.152.10 get config.cfg config.cfg - NotFound
tftp -i 192.168.152.10 get nasystem/config config.cfg - NotFound
tftp -i 192.168.152.10 get nasystem/config/{password} config.cfg - NotFound
tftp -i 192.168.152.10 get /SYSTEM/PRIMARY/config.cfg config.cfg - Blocked <- being the only "result" so far..

What am I doing wrong?

PS: Regarding the http script

I tried a little Java, opened an InputStream and tried to read it but I got http 403 exception (forbidden) which might have to do with the "Secure, Low" setting for the web services but I can't find an "Unsecure + Secure" like with HTTP

Also tried adding port 8443 to the url in my browser and the Java code but that didn't help with neither http:// nor https://

Here is a script I wrote up and have successfully deployed on quite a number of customer systems. Requires that you a) have the windows tftp client installed and b) have tftp read enabled in security settings. I just set this up as a batch file and set it up as a scheduled task for...whenever.
Change ipo="x.x.x.x" to your systems IP address.
Change c:\configbackup\ to wherever you want it to backup to. make sure you leave the 2nd backslash.

Code: 
@echo off
echo Daily IPO Backup In Progress...please stand by
echo ..
set ipo="x.x.x.x"
set putithere="c:\configbackup\\"
set mydate=%date:~4,2%%date:~7,2%%date:~10,4%
echo ......
tftp -i %ipo% GET "config/$t%%$'~ q" %putithere%%mydate%.cfg
echo .............All done! Have a nice day!
PING %ipo% -n 1 -w 10000 >NUL
attrib -R %putithere%%mydate%.cfg
PING %ipo% -n 1 -w 10000 >NUL

and in case anyone is curious, the default way of getting the file via tftp is this (for windows command line)

Code: 
tftp -i 192.168.42.1 GET "config/$t%$'~ q" config.cfg

Thanks :)
But this still won't work..

"config/$t%%$'~ q"
Been there - done that..
As far as I could find out this part is "config/{systempassword as some sort of hash value}" with "$t%%$'~ q" being the standard pw.
I've also seen versions with "t%$'~ q" in older posts about config backups (as it is shorter but pretty much the same pw I guess it's from an earlier version with another method of "hashing" the system password)...

As we change all the standard passwords on our IPOs our hash value differs (being "%(vKJGHGD") as you can find in a full backup of the config (line two, right before the name of the IPO)

When I change your skript accordingly to "tftp -i %ipo% GET "config/%(vKJGHGD" %putithere%%mydate%.cfg" I get
Error on Server: NotFound
Connection refused
(roughly translated from German)

% signs need to have an extra one in front of them, to let the system know they are not variables. try making it %%(vKJGHGD
