[QUOTE="nisulid, post: 859782, member: 104046"] Hi I've been searching everywhere for a solution for my problem... I am sorry if I was unable to find it, but I decided to create this post. I need to transfer a large (>4GB) .dmg from a mac to a windows. I have managed to connect them both via Ethernet and Wireless. I can transfer any other files through the network, both via ethernet or wireless. When I try to copy from the windows side, it gives me an error of “not enough free space”. When I do it from the mac side, it tranfers up to 4GB, and gives the same error. The file came compressed as .rar, multiple files, so i transfered all the files (the .rar files) to the pc and tried to extract there... when it's about 4gb extracted, it gives the ntfs error... in the mac it also gave error with The Unarchiver, but then I downloaded some other program and it worked. I tried on the windows WinRar, IZrar and Bitster, no sucess with any. I have tried Transmac and it doesn´t read my macbook over network. It finds the archive, mount it, but does not expand it. And you can’t burn it if it is not expanded. I have also converted to .iso, and still can´t transfer. I have burned it in .iso format though, in a DL disk. I found the archive over the network from the Nero and burned it directly. It runs in Windows nicely, but my macbook doesn’t recognize it. I also tried to use the DVD drive over the network, no success… Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
