LAN file transfer software package?

Am fed up with Windows Explorer getting halfway through a 50GB file
transfer between 2 PCs on my LAN and coming across a single file that
causes a problem resulting in the whole caboodle bombing out.

XCOPY does not work across networked drives.

Does anyone know of a simple, freebie file copy program that doesn't
have this mindless problem attached?

THanks

I'm pretty sure it does, one of our customers in the US distributes
software updates over their network using XCOPY in a batch file that
runs at logon.

Did you try mapping the drives instead of using UNC paths
("\\machine\share\etc")?
