I'm copying about 115,000 files. The source is a external USB HD on my 
PC. The destination is a folder on the Mac. Twice now, I've gotten the 
message:

The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in 
"CP20010618.pub" cannot be read or written. Error code -36.

(Aside: Where do I find the details of error numbers?)

What I did the first time was throw all the successfully copied files to 
the Trash, SCANDISK (& fix) the PC's external HD, and try the operation 
again, which just got me the same abend & msg.

See, I Trashed the files so that I could avoid duplicate copies or 
115,000 "Overwrite?" dialogs. So what I need is a better way to copy. 
One that will continue and perhaps make a list of failed files. Or that 
will recognize previously copied files as successful components of 
_this_ operation.

TIA for helpful suggestions.
