Ken, If you are able to access the switch I think it would be easier and faster to load tftpd32 on your laptop, assign an ip address to the switch, assign a static address to your laptop in the same range, connect via ethernet cable to a switch port and use the copy://tftp command on the switch to transfer the file. Will that work for you?
