    I have a user who gets 'invalid file handle' copying files to a Netware server. Not all the time, but most of the time. Does not seem to be related to the file type. Even .txt files can produce the error.

    My office W7 PC does not get the error, so it seems a W7 tweak on the user's laptop should fix it.

    In researching this problem, people have reported this error copying files between W7 and Mac OS X. That fix was a OS X tweak.

    Seems to be related to the metadata associated with the file, W7 NTFS.

    Any ideas?
