This may or may not be possible on the smaller routers like the 800 series
or the SOHO70/90 series routers because they don't appear to support a
large chunk of the newer MIBs.  I have a system that downloads configs
from routers on a regular basis and checks them into a version control
system.  This works fine on just about everything down to a 1600, but the
smaller boxes I had to write an expect script to log in to the router and
pull the config off that way.  I had no luck with either the OLD cisco
config MIB or the CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB.

I would expect you may run unto similar troubles attempting to upload a
config to the router.
