This sounds more a PC problem, not a NAS problem. Are you trying to copy the files to a drive formatted with FAT32? 

 

But you should be able to copy to another NAS.  What model NAS is it, and how are you trying to do the copy?

    I have tried to copy the file on the Netgear NAS to my Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit PC, the drives are formatted to NTFS, an error code pop up and when I looked up the code, it said to change the register on my PC so it can copy the files.  But the registery can only be set to hex-decimal ffffffff and can only handle 4G file size

     

    I tried dragging it from one mapped NAS windows to the other mapped NAS windows  but same error, the other NAS is an old Synology 1010+ too but that one I can copy a file over 4G from my PC to it and copy it back down to my pc. 

     

    So not sure how I got the big files on the Netgear, just want to make a copy to the Synology.

      Hi all,

       

      I have worked it out, I turn on ftp and use that to transfer the files over.

       

      Thanks

        That would work. My older NAS are backups, with files transfered using rsync backup jobs.  That also handles large files.

         

        Were you using file explorer before?  That should also work, though it's been quite a while since I tried it.
