Loading image onto a Cisco 3550 switch
When I attempt to load a .bin file using the archive download-sw command I get an error
3570-SWIT-04# archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://10.1.1.22
examining image...
%Error opening tftp://10.1.1.22 (Timed out)
%Error opening flash:update/info (No such file or directory)

What is the difference between the .bin and .tar images?

If all you have is the .bin file, all you need to do is "copy tftp flash"
Specify the TFTP server, the source file (.bin file), and the destination in flash. You may need to alter the boot command in the configuration.
boot system flash <filename>
