copy size?

I've been trying to copy an 8meg folder from one computer to another on
an ethernet connection. I'm unable to copy it all at once. I assume that
there's some size limit.

Was wondering what the size limit is or if there's some way to copy the
whole folder at once? We're using win98 and transferring from a thinkpad
(laptop) to a dell pentiumII tower.

Probably at 2 GB issues will arise. But I've moved files nearly
that big with no problem.

.... and I should add that I've dealt with _single files_ that big.
I've dealt with folders containing tens of gigabytes, so I doubt
there's any practical limit on that.

For sure, 8 Megs should be easy.

I get an error message when I go over 500 k and it won't transfer.

The obvious question is, "What's the error message?"
