Beware that CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB is not supported on all devices. For
those that don't support it, OLD-CISCO-SYS-MIB (supported by every IOS
device I met) has "writeNet":

 snmpset [auth options] device.example.com OLD-CISCO-SYS-MIB::writeNet.10.20.30.40 s device-config.txt

Where "10.20.30.40" is the IP address of a TFTP server and
"device-config.txt" is the path relative to the TFTP root on the server.
This path can contain "/" to address subdirectories.

If every device you have support CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB it has a lot of
advantages: you can copy more than just running-config, you can use
other protocols than TFTP, you can check the status of long running
operations. It's programatically more complex though.

Keep in mind that your TFTP server might not allow creating new files,
so you might have to first create a world-writable file for the device
to overwrite.
