Probably at 2 GB issues will arise. But I've moved files nearly
that big with no problem.

.... and I should add that I've dealt with _single files_ that big.
I've dealt with folders containing tens of gigabytes, so I doubt
there's any practical limit on that.

For sure, 8 Megs should be easy.

I've been trying to copy an 8meg folder from one computer to another on
an ethernet connection. I'm unable to copy it all at once. I assume that
there's some size limit.

Was wondering what the size limit is or if there's some way to copy the
whole folder at once? We're using win98 and transferring from a thinkpad
(laptop) to a dell pentiumII tower.

I get an error message when I go over 500 k and it won't transfer.

The obvious question is, "What's the error message?"

Does any of this apply? :

I had already seen this file - in the section that is of interest, all
it says is:

Network Security or Traffic
Check with your Network Administrator to verify that there are no
network security or network traffic issues on the network.

Does the error occur regardless of how you try to copy the file (e.g.
by drag-and-drop vs copy/paste vs ftp)? Have you tried copying between
the machines that are involved and others on the network to determine
whether the problem is particular to this source and/or target?

When you monitor the status lights on your NIC and/or switch/hub, do you
see anything unexpected (e.g. drop of connectivity, long lags, high
collision rates)?

8meg files and/or folders should be no problems at all. I typically copy 10
to 10,000 meg folders with files being 10 to 600+megs each no problems
across various mix of xp and 98se pc's.

Only time there's a problem it's almost invariably the nic itself at fault
and I have had a couple seemed to work ok until under any amount of stress
then ... nada so ...
