Copying Publisher Files

[waterwy.1.webfoot]

Hi
If this problem is old - or better fixed elswhere please advise.

I am using publisher 2000 for a local magazine. To backup I like to
copy across the local network (Peer to Peer - no domain).

If the file exceeds about 9 Mbytes the copy will fail.

I can copy 50 + mytes between the same machines in any other format.

Any advice welcome.

How are you copying the files?
Are you opening the file in Publisher and Save As-ing to the network, or are
you using Windows Explorer to drag/drop?

Using Windows Explorer. However as master machine is running XP tried
using the FTP server, copy failes again.
I can zip and copy or use USB memory stick works, but requires more
user intervention.

That seems ridiculous.

I have never heard of an issue like this, and have no idea what could
possible cause it.

In what way is the copy "failing"?
