Dir flash:

Did you forget .bin extension?

[Richard Burts · Accepted solution]

Forgetting the .bin extension is one way of looking at the issue. The error message indicates that the string input to the command is a directory and not a file. So for the copy command to work the original poster will need to input the path to the file (directory entry, plus file name, and .bin).
