[SOLVED] Is the tftp-hpa TFTP server reliable?

Hi, I want to install a TFTP server on my archlaptop to do a very important task, which is a Cisco router IOS upgrade. how reliable is the tftp server provided in the arch repos? I need to backup my current IOS image (IOS is the cisco operating system name) to the TFTP server and then copy the new IOS image to the router.

Being this a critical procedure (the router may become unbootable if something fails) I wanted to know if someone has done something similar like this, and if it worked or not.

cheers and thanks in advance for your comments.

the only thing I can tell you is that I already flashed a router using tftp-hpa (but on crux, not arch) and everything went perfectly fine. dunno about arch package but the tool itself works great for this purpose.
