Try dir flash:/c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-22.EA1a.
Once you know the name of the images, then you can tftp it using the full path:
Source filename []? c3550-i9q3l2-mz.121-22.EA1a/<imagename.bin>
Putting the image in a directory is allowed per the IOS docs, but can be kind of pain to work with.
some people like doing that for organization but i don't find it overly useful unless you have a large flash that can hold multiple images or if you use the device as a tftp server for other devices.
