How would I upload a file from my PC into a Cisco router’s flash memory?

I want to replace the default music on hold playing in my office. I have the properly formatted music on a desktop. How do I get the music from there into the router? (2821 running Cisco Communications Manager Express)

You will need to use TFTP. I use the free tftpd (http://tftpd32.jounin.net/)

Setup your pc as a tftp server and place the wav file in the tftp folder.

Telnet to your router and get to enable mode.
Do a "copy tftp flash"
It will ask for the address or name of remote host and type in your PCs IP address.
Then it will ask for the source filename… type thenameofyourmoh.wav
Type the destination file name and enter
It should then copy it over to the routers flash

Hope this helps :)
