Looking to backup configs of our Cisco devices using FTP

We manage a network of devices and would like to maintain a library of configs that are automatically backed up when they are changed on the end devices.

We are happy with the config on the remote and core devices and that they will trigger a config snapshot to be exported to a Server running Server 2012.

The question is whether we use FTP, we have tried this but it is very problematic and intermittant with Usernames and passwords.

We have also tried TFTP but again, a little problematic.

I would be very grateful for any advice or pointers.

Why not look into a configuration manager like Solarwinds NCM?  The configs are backed up via ssh/telnet.
What problems are happening when using TFTP?
I used to manage a network with 80 plus routers and 800+ switches using the feature you described with TFTP without a glitch.
