no access to TFTP server, and we can't load the partial IOS

Follow this procedure if you want to upgrade cisco IOS

[OK]
Check space on Flash Memory
ciscorouter# show flash
Make sure you have the space left on your cisco device.
Backup Startup Configuration
Setup a TFTP server in the same IP range as the Cisco
device to backup the configs, IOS image and also for later
to upload the new IOS image.
testrouter# copy startup-config tftp
Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.2
Destination filename [startup-config]?

1278 bytes c opied in 0.100 secs
Backup Current IOS Image

Source filename []? xxxxx-xx-xx.121-x.XB
Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.2
Destination filename [xxxxx-xx-xx.121-x.XB]?
Now, Load the new IOS image from the TFTP onto the flash
ciscorouter#copy tftp: flash:
Address or name of remote host []? 10.10.10.2
Source filename []? c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-40.SE.bin
Destination filename [c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-40.SE.bin]?

Now you need to make sure you are booting with the correct
version of IOS image for this you need to use the following
command to set.
testrouter(config)#boot system flash:/c3560-ipbasek9-mz.122-
40.SE.bin
