WS-C2960S-24TS-L Erased flashed directory issue

[PickleRick]

HI,

 I recently have gotten a Cisco Catalyst 2960-S Series (WS-C2960S-24TS-L) and it appears to have the flash directory completely wiped.  My issue is I can't seem to figure out how to upload a new ISO to it so it will finally boot, as the previous owner has appearently wiped the directories clean.  Ive tried using Tera Term VT by doing the "copy xmodem flash:<bin file name>" command and then sending it from there, but the issue after that is it doesn't upload the new ISO file and its not even in the "dir flash:" as it still says there is nothing in there.  If anyone has any solutions on how I can upload a new ISO file to this switch it would be greatly appreciated!

Is it booting to rommon? Does that model have a USB port you could boot from?

[PickleRick]

It doesn't boot to rommon, it just boots straight "Switch:".  There is no option to enable or go any higher then that.  As far as the usb port it does have that, but I would rather just use serial/console port.

That's ROMmon. You can upload the IOS easily by forcing the switch to boot from a USB stick.
