II got some 2950 switches that had the IOS deleted and I am trying to load an IOS on them so we can use them. When I try to load an IOS on the switch via the copy command, I get an error saying "Permission Denied".
These switches do not have an xmodem or tftpdnld option. I did try load_helper but that did nothing. Any ideas?

As you can see, I can issue the DIR command and get good results.
