Copy image FROM switch's flash to another switch

Hi Comunity,

 

I need to recover a switch software image from SW01 so I can install it in SW02 (Unfortunatelly version K.15.06.0008 has been already removed from the download section).

 

I've tried with:
SW01# copy flash usb image_pri.swi primary

 

them when I try to flash image_pri.swi to SW02 it says its a corrupted image:

SW02# copy usb flashimage_pri.swi primary

The Primary OS Image will be deleted, continue [y/n]? y
Corrupted download file.

 

I've noted the the size of the image in SW01 is different than the image file copied from flash:

SW01# show flash
Image Size (bytes) Date Version
----------------- ------------ -------- --------------------
Primary Image : 14844423 10/09/11 K.15.06.0008
Secondary Image : 14844423 10/09/11 K.15.06.0008

 

In my linux machine I have:
linuxhost# ls
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 14844928 Jun 23 08:38 image_pri.swi


I'm completly sure the media is not corrupted (Tried copying the image via USB, SFTP, etc) and every time I get a file with the same size (14844928 bytes)


Some background information: SW01 is in production and we are introducing SW02 which is exactly the same as SW01. We need the same version so we can run Distrubuted trunking but currently upgrading SW01 is not an option.

I very much appreciate any help.
