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. -- Malcolm 800MHz 17" flat panel iMac running Leopard (1GB RAM, 500GB HD) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
