How do you FTP transfer IOS to a 3750G switch?

[tdennehy]

I've done this one other flavors of switches.  This particular switch is thousands of miles away and tftp just won't cut it.  FTP will.  In fact, I transferred via FTP to a 3750X switch earler today on that same network.

The 3750G switch errors out every time:

core-1#copy ftp flash:

Address or name of remote host []? 10.70.39.40

Source filename []? c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.150-1.SE1.bin

Destination filename [c3750-ipservicesk9-mz.150-1.SE1.bin]?

Login/Password)

I'm using 3Cdaemon.  I have my username and password configured in it, however when I used it for the 3750X, I was not prompted for a username/pw - it just copied.

On the 3750G, I'm not getting a prompt for entering in my credentials.  Just keeps erroring out.

TFTP didn't work either - I just tried.. it times out, just like I would expect it to.

Can you try on the switch before trying to copy -

switch(config)# ip ftp username

switch(config)# ip ftp password

then try the copy.

Thanks!  You are the man.  Why the 3750X let me is odd... but the G would not.  She's copying right now.

Since I'm 2500 miles away, I can't just walk up to it with my USB drive...

Be careful, VERY CAREFUL, when using IOS version 15.0(1)SE1.  Monitor the CPU and memory regularly.
