Step 1: make sure you have a tftp server running somewhere that the Cisco router can connect to (no access lists or routing problems) - Cisco Routers don't support copying files to a ftp server.

Step 2: find the name of the IOS that you want to copy, you can find the name by doing a 'show flash:' the file you are looking for will usually end with .bin

Step 3: type 'copy flash: tftp:' - the Router will then prompt you for information such as the file name (whic you have from step 2), the destination IP address (the IP of your TFTP server) the destination file name (usually a good idea to keep it the same).
