I am not able to upload a new IOS file to a 3850 switch currently on 16.6.5.
TFTP transfer fails with:
%Error opening tftp://10.x.x.x/cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.06.SPA.bin (Timed out)
Copying from USB fails:
%Error reading usbflash0:/cisco/cat3k_caa-universalk9.16.06.06.SPA.bin (I/O error)
There is more than enough space on the flash. I tried different IOS version files with no success. Also tried different USB sticks and 2 different TFTP servers.

several option will be available , check these and change
