IOS Update failed on Catalyst C2960S-48LPS-L

[sforster123]

Hi Community,

i've got a little problem to update IOS 12.2(55)SE5 on a 2690S-49PLS-L switch

File: c2960s-universalk9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar

why? I took 2 Switches out of the box, one runs IOS 12,2 the other 15.0, stack doesn't work.

tried 3 options to upgrade:

- CNA 6.1: first Upgrade Status "uploading" next Error: failed to upgrade.

- Http/https and IE 11: looks the same, status "Loading to Switch", Error: upgrade was unsuccessful or aborted

- CLI: set first ip ftp username + password, then comand:

switch# archive download-sw /overwrite /reload ftp://*IP of FTP-Server*/Cisco/c2960s-universalk9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar

Error: Unable to create temp dir "flash:update"

i need some Ideas...

Error: Unable to create temp dir "flash:update"

Ok, the error message is very helpful.  

To the switch that is exhibiting this error message, run this command:  delete /f /r flash:update

Once the command has finished, run the "archive download-sw" again.

In Leo's post there should be a "Correct Answer" button you can click.
