Not so much the space available as the internal handling of the temporary file and such. The HD has just got to be tossing stuff all over the place accommodating that big of a transfer. :-0 Another method, have you tried "pulling" it instead of sending?

Just a thought but is the problem only happen transferring to the 98 but ok going the other way? 2.35 GB is an awful big file for Win98.
My wife's PC has a 40 GB hard drive, which is less than half full.
So far, I've only tried going WinXP to Win98SE.
Today, I did backups on both my wife's PC and my own.
Transferring files from my PC (WinXP) to my wife's (Win98SE) showed the following:
Pushing from WinXP to Win98SE could not be done with files larger than 100 MB. Pulling from WinXP to Win98SE could be done with files larger than 200 MB and less than 400 MB; files larger than 400 MB could not be pulled. Note that I was able to sit at my wife's PC, open a window on my PC, and split a 2.77 GB on my PC with MaxSplitter into 10 equal-sized files, having that application write the files directly to my wife's PC.
Pushing from Win98SE to WinXP could be done with files as large as 478 MB.
When the network connection died while trying to transfer a very large file, I could re-establish the connection only by rebooting both PCs. Rebooting one (either one) had no corrective effect.
That is an interesting set of data points. Is there anything in the XP's event viewer that would point to where the problem is(Start, Run, eventvwr. Any error messages at all on either end? Here is a link to a general troubleshooting guide, too.

The Event Viewer shows no relevant errors in either Application, Security, or System during the period when these problems occurred. The only errors reported (in Application) related to me terminating RealPlayer from the Task Manager.
Aside from error popups indicating that the folder or file could not be accessed (expected if the connection died), the only other errors were something about the depth of the path was too long. I don't remember the exact wording.
