Default large file copying fails
This might be a common question but i cant seem to find my answer in google.

I have windows server 2003 with gigabit lan with an external drive.

Now the main issue is i cant copy large files. It started out of nowhere after months of good running. When i copy to any machine either using windows explorer or ftp i cant seem to copy large files.... iso's of movies mainly. I can mount it with daemon tools and watch it fine. But when i try to copy it through filezilla or explorer it kicks it back saying disconnected.

Small files copy fine. I tested 50 100mb files and they all copied fine.

Any ideas?

hey claygorman, is the drive formatted in FAT32? Anything other than NTFS has a file size limit of 4GB.

Wait, does it connect to your computer via LAN or USB 2.0/IEEE 1394 (firewire)
