60K is a little bitty file ... 1M is a rather large file.
What sort of connection are you using to do the copy?

| Why not use drag and click as opposed to copy/paste? 60K may be too
much for the clipboard.

I interpreted the question as using ^C (copy) and ^V (paste) in
Windows 95 Explorer, which is a lot more convenient than mousing it
in that you don't have to arrange to have the source file and
destination directory on the screen at the same time.
This doesn't put the whole file in the clipboard; I've used ^C or ^X
with ^V to copy or move multi-megabyte files within Explorer.

| I've seen a similar problem in a different context. The drive sharing
between Win95 systems gives exactly this problem if there are lots of
files in a directory. For example if the Windows directory is well
populated with files you can see the remote Windows directory, explore it's
contents - but try dragging and dropping a file into it (even if it its
fully non-password protected shared) and you get exactly this error.
You could easily try to create a temporary empty top level directory
and try dragging and dropping the file into it to see if that gives the
same problem.

What usually goes into the clipboard is not the file but
a pointer to the file. I've copied 100s of MB at time and
I doubt that all 100+ MB get copied to the clipboard. The
pointers do tho.

use DOS)

| 2887.8 | Use MS-DOS commands in Win95 for copying large files | TBB2::GRENFELL | | Wed Apr 23 1997 00:22 | 14 |
| I echo Leigh's comments about using the MS-DOS commands.
In our Windows 95 / PATHWORKS for VMS V4.2 ECO08 environment we can
never copy large files from the PC's hard disk or CD-ROM drive to a
file-service inside the
'Windows Explorer' by dragging files from one window to another. However
the files can always be copied with the 'COPY' or 'XCOPY' command from an
MS-DOS Prompt window.
I have captured the traffic in IRIS and cannot see why the PC stops
sending.
