Greetings to you
I'm tired from searching in Google about " how to save current firmware in switch to PC , The main goal from this is take a backup

I Know how to save config file to my pc it's easy by using this command

A4(su)->show config outfile configs/mysave.cfg

A4(su)->copy configs/mysave.cfg tftp://10.10.10.15/Ali_j_albasri.txt

File transfer operation completed successfully.

so the above command using to save config file to my PC using TFPT ,
we know in Cisco you can save IOS Image by using IOS name and TFTP
Like this command

copy flash/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-25.SEE2/c2960-lanbase-mz.122-25.SEE2.bin tftp:server

so i want to do that in Enterasys switches

I do not have an A4 currently to verify, but have used the following on other Enterasys switches:

A4> dir (to see firmware names in the Images directory)

A4> copy images/firmware_name tftp://a.b.c.d/name

Sorry,
Firmware to switch cannot be done.
I thought you were trying to load the Config to PC.
My Mistake

I don't think that it's possible to upload the software from the switch.
The solution to your problem would be to just download the software image that you are looking for from the Extreme webpage to your PC.
