Make sure the machine you are using does not have WDS enabled , WDS uses TFTP 

Run TFTP and make sure the server is listening on an Network IP ( NOT 172.0.0.1 )

Copy the .xos file to the TFTP Directory 

In SSH make sure you can Ping the IP of the TFTP server from the Switch viaping %IP OF TFTPServer%

Do you want to install image after downloading? (y – yes, n – no, – cancel) Yes

You will need to reboot the switch and if the switch is in a stack you will need to reboot them both as Stack switches cannot be in different versions
