Friends,
I'm trying to make a copy of a host folder on my MacBook that totals files and folders worth: 5.21 GB.
As you can guess this takes a while, but each time I return the copying has stopped somewhere well short of the full load because of a certain, nonsense file or file name that cannot be copied.
Worse, of the times I was able to find the problem file ( and delete it ) the re copying, starts all over again from the beginning?
Now, I don't mind that but looking for these buried files is becoming almost impossible and certainly more time consuming than I have time for.
Concerning this last file blocker I cannot even find it at all.
How can I:
Help,
Bernard

How can I:
- Better find the file ( search box is not finding it ).
- Find another way to backup, sync or copy these files so that they do not start over each time I try again
Help,
