Hi Jeremy,
Your getting the error message because c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-8.EA1c is a
directory - not a file. Notice the "drwx" in your directory listing. The "d"
indicates it is a directory.
Try using the command " rmdir flash:c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-8.EA1c " to delete
the directory. However, before you can delete the directory I believe you
have to erase the files in the directory which you can do using the command
" delete flash:c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-8.EA1c/* ".
Also, you can just "format flash:" which will erase everything and then run
the archive download-sw command to install the new software.
-Steve

I think that performing software upgrades on the 3550 is a little different
from a router. Below is the command shown in the release notes
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/1219ea1/ol208903.h
tm#xtocid12
Switch# archive download-sw /overwrite
tftp://172.20.129.10/c3550-i5q3l2-tar.121-9.EA1c.tar
It's probably better to use it's web interface.
