Recently a few users at my work were upgraded to Intel Macs. Everything seems to be working fine except transferring larger files (larger then 100mb). They are able to send smaller file fine and even large files to a different server that is running Windows 2003.

Is there a solution to this problem other then upgrading to 2003?

There where a few files that did make it all the way through but I was unable to get a second file to transfer. I am getting the error -43, which means the either the file or transfer location are missing.

Thanks

Try enabling a Mac version of the drive then connect using AFP rather than SMB.

Looks like just switching form SMB to AFP made it work. Its weird that SMB works for the other Macs. I also read that AFP can be faster transfers. Should i bother to switch the other macs to AFP as well?

try it and send a 500 mb file or a large file and see which is quicker. no harm in trying.
