How to find correct IOS path in cisco switch-2960

 This is one of the most important because sometimes when we do copy the IOS from flash to TFTP it does not work . 

When i was trying to copy , I was getting this error.

switch#copy flash tftp:
Source filename flash:c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7.bin/cc2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7.bin
Address or name of remote host []? 172.16.10.2
Destination filename [c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7.bin]?
%Error opening flash:c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7.bin/c2960s-universalk9-mz.122-55.SE7.bin
(No such file or directory)

To solve the issue , you have to find the correct path by using the command called show version.

Switch#show version
