flash and iso problem

i have an used cisco switch that I`m to config.
after setting up the IP_ADDR, DEFAULT_GETAWAY, MASK, DEFAULT_ROUTER, TFTP_SERVER
when i try this command:
copy tftp://192.168.1.100/c2960-lanbasek9-mz.152-7.E10.bin flash:
i get this Error output:
The "IP_ADDR" environment variable is not properly formatted.
Its syntax is <IP_ADDR>/<NET_MASK>. <IP_ADDR> & <NET_MASK> are of the form "D.D.D.D", where "d" is a decimal digit.
tftp://192.168.1.100/c2960-lanbasek9-mz.152-7.E10.bin: invalid argument

I open a CMD window and run the command to check if the TFTP server is serving well, which it does:

TFTP -i 192.168.1.100 get c2960-lanbasek9-mz.152-7.E10.bin

what is my problem ? and how can i fixed it?

       _ I guess it depends on exactly how you did that , provide a screenshot or shots for instance,

-- Each morning when I wake up and look into the mirror I always say ' Why am I so brilliant ? '
    When the mirror will then always repond to me with ' The only thing that exceeds your brilliance is your beauty! '

I agree with @marce1000 that a screenshot(s) would be helpful in understanding exactly what you set up.

I would also suggest that instead of copy tftp that you try using tftpdnld, assuming that you are in rommon as you try to load the image file.

What is the exact model of the switch?

Catalyst 2960-s

If the switch is a 2960S, then why is someone trying to load an IOS meant for a plain 2960?

Two, if this is a 2960S, why is someone trying to use XModem when a USB port can be used to boot the IOS off it?
