I have a cisco 3750 swicth which i want to load a new ios to but unfortunately there's no enough space on the flash. This means that i need to backup the cureent (old) ios to my tftp server but the command keeps failing. It always gives 'No such file or directory' error .
The free space on the flash is 8mb and my new ios is about 11mb.
I also went inside the directory where the old is and inputed the same copy command but to no avail.
Below are some of the command failure on the swicth:
VNPSWITCH#sh flas

You are attempting to copy a directory instead of a file. 3750s wont allow this behavior.
Instead try the following:
switch#cd flash:c3750-ipbase-mz.122-25.SEB
switch#show flash
switch#copy flash:(file name) tftp:
to back out of directory:
switch: cd ..
