Well, if the WLC is in ROMMON, FTP/TFTP is not going to help because direct physical access (via console cable) is your only avenue.

Plug the USB flash drive into the WLC and use the command "boot usbflash0:filename.bin".

NOTE: For "consistency" purposes, if the syntax "usbflash0:" is not accepted, try "usb0:".
