Hello Jerald
Thank you for your message. Would there be any reason the copy would fail. This is what I did:
---------------------------------------
copy tftp://hostname/filepath/M4250L-16XF-v13.0.4.8.stk image2
Management access will be blocked for the duration of the transfer
Are you sure you want to start? (y/n) y
File transfer failed!
---------------------------------------
I can confirm the filepath is correct.
Thank you

Hi goudeuk,
May I know which TFTP server program are you using? Also, you can try using ping on the switch to check if it's reachable and make sure that port 69 isn't blocked.
If it still doesn't work, you can also try USB.
Lastly, just want to add that you need to specify which image you want to boot into when typing the boot system command (e.g. boot system image2).
Regards,
