When I copy a large directory using ncopy on a Novell 286 network, for some reason I get lost connection errors, both on the machine doing the copying and also on other machines. This is the first time such an error has occured with any software, and we are not using packet drivers. Am I the only person to experience this, or is this a problem with ncopy? Is there an alternative to ncopy, where files in use will be ignored rather than generating an error like copy does? Thanx in advance, +Mark. -- Mark Allsop Computer Scientist email: mallsop@suna.mqcc.mq.oz.au The Statistical Laboratory Phone: At MacUni: (61 2) 805-8792 / \ Macquarie University, Australia Fax : : (61 2) 805-7433 | This one goes up to 11.....

I have also experienced the "lost connection" problem while doing an
ncopy. Observations: It only occurs when copying between the two
SCSI disks on our 386 clone file server. The system utilization goes
way, way up and in some cases, the workstation doing the copying will
get an "error reading from network" halt.
If I copy from one f/server to another the problem does not occur.
Maybe the clone can't handle the internal traffic this creates?
