Thank you for your assistance on this. I have raised a ticket with Netgear but they have no resolution as yet. I’ll post back if they come up with something.

I’m convinced this is to do with handling of usernames and permissions but I’m not savvy enough to change anything.

Thanks again.

I can copy them to hard disks on the Mac but not to either of my NASs.

Permissions are also odd but with all files: If I check permissions of a file on my NAS using Finder I see: Owner – (unknown), Group – staff and Everyone. If I check the same file using Pathfinder I see: Owner – markwagstaff (501), staff (20) and Everyone appears in the permissions table. Permissions are the same despite the Owner being unknown using Finder.

If I then copy the file to the desktop and check permissions again Finder and Pathfinder are identical; Finder identifies Owner as markwagstaff (me).

Any ideas ?

Thanks for the follow up.

I tried copying one of the problem files to the desktop and then to the NAS – same error message.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.

There are a range of sizes of files that will and won’t copy over. They are in the range of tens to a couple of hundred MB.

rgds,
