cat3550: changing directory on flash file system. error!

[summerdike]

I want to upload software image of 3550 cisco switch to a tftp server.
I first want to find the image on the flash file system.

When I want to change directory to "c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-22.EA5", I get error.
I suppose the image file is in the directory "c3550-i5q3l2-mz.121-22.EA5".

Hi

All you need to do is use the 'copy tftp flash' command whilst in privileged exec (# prompt mode). It will ask you for an IP address of a TFTP server and which file you want to copy.

HTH

Sorry that should be 'copy flash tftp'... Doh

I succeeded copying the image.
I mixed up the 1 and the l inthe name.
After copy/paste I succeeded.

It turned out that the image file had the same name as the directory it was in, but then with the extension .bin.

What is the point that these directories and image files have such "unique" sort of name?


c3550-i5q312-mz.121-22.EA5.bin ???????
