Hello,

Trying to copy the booted IOS image to my TFTP server but for some odd reason it’s failing to locate the file, even though you can see it in the flash directory:

SWT001#show flash:

Do this first: 

 

config t
tftp flash:c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA6.bin
end

 

After this you can copy the file to the TFTP server.  No need to save the config.

Thanks Leo, that worked. May I ask what the problem is actually?

The command tells the switch to enable TFTP and specify the file to be "hosted".
