How are you copying it? What OS is the 'other HD' on your network  
running?

Ugh, that sux. I've only ever run into that error with samba shares,  
and it's because the share was messed up.

FWIW it's a no brainer to try the fixgo to the 10.2 machine, stop  
the file sharing, restart the computer and re-share the drive.

ON the other one, restart the computer and re-attach the shared Mac  
volume.

This is what works with flaky samba shares, particularly on older macs.

I've no clue whether this will work for afp shares, though.

With the introduction of 10.4 Apple disabled file transfer and sharing over the 
older version of afp that used AppleTalk either over twisted pair localtalk or 
AppleTalk over ethernet.

It made it impossible to connect OS neXt to systems earlier than OS 8.5 without 
purchasing proprietary software from OpenDoor.

In OS 8 or 9 and possibly OS 10.2 you have to enable AppleTalk over IP, 
internet protocol. It's a deliberate selection in a preference somewhere that 
has to be set and may not be the default in OS 10.2.

Personally I have discovered the scp capability of Openssh which is delivered 
with essentially all versions of OS neXt. It works with a whole lot of boxes. 
But you do have to use a command line or a hand-written AppleScript. If scp 
doesn't work, think OS 7, curl will but it's not very secure.
