How is your Mac connecting to your Windows machine? If the Windows machine is only giving the Mac restricted access less than its own administrative privileges, which is quite likely, that is probably where the problem lies. I don't think it has anything to do with the Mac side. If the Mac can copy the files, it will. From what you are saying it sounds like Windows is denying the Mac access to some of the files. I actually had something similar happen before, and had to make the account that the Mac was using to connect to the Windows box an admin manually.

OK, After reading here, I think I may have been a bit incoherent in my frustration.

The situation I've got is this. I am migrating my files from my windows laptop to my macbook across my network. My account on the windows side has administrater privilages and it lets me read and write the files without a problem.

Today I coppied over my website. My website is just over 400 megabytes in size. There are the html and php files that make up the content of the site, and then there are data folders that contain jpeg and gif images, as well as .txt and .doc files, along with the ocasional zip archive that contains jpeg files. Things went well at first. Until it got to just over 300 meg of the coppy. Then, smack in the middle of coppying it throws up these errors. It's as if the mac has decided that some jpeg images are worthy and others are not.

I tried rebooting.
I tried coppying starting from the folder where the copy left off, and got the same thing. The system simpley deems these particular files out of bounds for some reason.

Best,

Erik
