Unspecified error during copy process [closed]

Question

has anyone made experience with a unspecified error during copy big (2-3GB) files to the local hyper-v machine? My machine has in any case enough memory and space. The error comes quite suddenly during the copy process. Where can I get specific error details? There is nothing in my Windows Event logger :-/

Best regards

Answer 1

Copying files larger than 2 GB over a Remote Desktop Services or a Terminal Services session through Clipboard Redirection (copy and paste) is not supported. Please check https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2258090

Answer 2

RDP transfers files through your clipboard. Copying something while the transfer is taking place (which is particularly easy in a large file transfer, because you probably want to do something else as it is happening, and copying things is a very common operation) fails the entire thing with an unspecified error.

If it's possible to you, consider using drive redirection, as it is much faster and resilient to this.

Answer 3

It happens for me when I try to copy some other text or file when a large file is being copied over Remote desktop services whereas in local machine, it allows parallel copy.
