Cisco AP Recovery mode – TFTP issue

ciscoios

I am booting without IOS and I get this prompt:

ap:

then I issue these commands:

ap: set IP_ADDR 192.168.0.111
ap: set NETMASK 255.255.0.0
ap: set DEFAULT_ROUTER 192.168.0.1
ap: tftp_init
ap: ether_init

Then I want to copy an IOS image to flash:

copy tftp://192.168.1.14/c1250-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar flash:

But I get error:

tftp://192.168.1.14/c1250-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar: no such file or directory

But I have double checked everything, the tftp server is running, the IOS is in the tftp, the IOS image name is correct, and IPs are fine, and router is plugged in the switch, etc.

How can I troubleshoot this issue please ? I really need to recover an IOS image into that AP.

You should make sure that your TFTP server is actually functioning correctly. Try testing from a non-AP source. I suspect that you will find that it is not AP specific, but rather a problem with the TFTP server.

Assuming you're running tftpd, you should check the logs, which are usually located in/var/log/messages. You can start the TFTP daemon with -vvvvv for highest verbosity.
