You are using image built from a tar file.

Try to following commands:

#cd flash:/c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-22.EA1a/

#dir

#copy c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-22.EA1a.bin tftp

You can also create an archive and download it to your tftp server.

# archive tar /create tftp:192.168.1.1/c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-22.EA1a.tar flash:/c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-22.EA1a
