Let me recap what is going on:

1. If I use Windows Explorer, I can transfer files less than 1 MB in size
back and forth between shared folders on my laptop and PC.

2. If I use Windows Explorer, I cannot transfer any files larger than 1 MB
in size back and forth between shared folders on my laptop and PC.

3. Using the fsutil command, I was able to create the 2 MB and 20 MB files
on my laptop's C:\ drive. Using the same commands, except changing the
target drive to a mapped drive on my PC, I could not create the files,
getting the "Access is denied" error. I dropped the size way down, to 10
KB,
and still got the error.

4. I can copy files from a CD or flash drive that are larger than 1 MB and
write them to my laptop and/or PC.

So I don't think it's about permissions. The fact I can write smaller
files
seems to eliminate that. What I am wondering is if the Norton Internet
Security 2007 has some rule in it that doesn't allow writing of files
larger
than 1 MB. But even if I turn off the firewall, I still cannot transfer
the
larger files.

Now, that leaves the possiblity it may be something set up inside my home
network. I have a Belkin wireless router/hub. The PC is wired into the
router, the laptop is wireless. I have a third PC that is wired into the
router, but doesn't currently have any shared folders. I should probably
see
if I can transfer files to/from the third PC. At this point, I don't have
any better ideas.

This is getting a little confusing. You write "I get 'Access
is denied'. Even if I try to write a really small file, like 10 KB."

You also write "I am limited to transferring files no larger than
1 MB between my pc and laptop via the home network."

Now is this a ***size*** issue or a ***permissions*** issue?

That's what I thought.

I can write the files on my laptop's c:\ drive.

If I try to run the same command to write to my m:\ drive (mapped to
my
pc),
I get "Access is denied". Even if I try to write a really small file,
like
10 KB.

Any other ideas? I cannot believe I am limited to transferring files
no
larger than 1 MB between my pc and laptop via the home network.

The command I gave you will simply create two files: One
of 2 MBytes and one of 20 MBytes. Best to run the command
on the target computer.

Before I try this, I don't know if I was clear on this, but the
source
directory is on one computer and the target is on another.

The file is on my pc and I want to copy it to my laptop. The
source
is
mapped to my M:\ drive.

Will the steps you mentioned still be applicable?

Fine, let's test this in more detail. Do this:
- Click Start / Run / cmd {OK}
- Type these commands:
fsutil file createnew d:\big1.bin 2000000 {OK}
fsutil file createnew d:\big2.bin 20000000 {OK}
dir d:\big*.bin

I assumed that d:\was your target drive letter.
What responses do you see?

Remember to delete big*.bin if the commands worked!

Error Copying File or Folder

Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the
file is
not
currently in use.


---------------------------------------------------------------
I can copy files smaller than 1 MB from the source directory
to
the
target
directory, and I have 30+ GB of free space on both the source
and
target.

I installed Norton Internet Security 2007 and now I cannot
copy
files
that
are larger than 1 MB from one pc to another. I contacted
Symantec
technical
support and after disabling Personal Firewall, I was still
not
able to
copy
the file. They suggested that I contact Microsoft
support.

Any ideas out there? I can copy files smaller than 1 MB.
It's
not
file
name based, as I can rename the original file, then create
a
new
file
with
the old name, and copy a smaller version of it.

Thanks,
Glenn Harland

A good starting point would be to report exactly what you
see on the screen when you attempt to copy a file larger
than 1 MByte.
