Problems copying from one NAS to another
It seems i'm having a problem transferring my music files and folders from my Stora to my ReadyNAS.
Using OS X 10.8.4.. everything was working fine until i started copying about 5.1GB of data from the Stora to the ReadyNAS.
I went away, came back, the computer had gone into sleep mode (screen off) and when i went back in the file transfer had stopped with an error on the screen..
"The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50)."
I've copied gigs of data across before with no issues.
I can copy gigs of data to other folders on the ReadyNAS with no issue.
I can copy other files to the ReadyNAS into the media folder.
I can copy from the Stora to the Mac drive.
Is there issues with certain characters being in a folder or file name ?
It seems to through up the error even if i only copy a few files into the Media folder.
Product: ReadyNAS Duo v1
RAIDiator Version: 4.1.12
RAID Info: using finder to copy files, not using the app.
Hard Disk Brand, Model & Capacity: 2TB + 1TB
ReadyNAS Security Mode: ?
No. Hard Disk currently installed: 2
Network Router/Switch Info: Netgear wired D6300 - mac and two NAS boxes connected by wired LAN.

- Have you tried rebooting your devices?
- Yes i have.
I've rebooted both NAS units and the problem still persists.
I've even copied the files from the Stora to the laptop HDD and when i go to copy from there to the ReadyNAS it still fails with error code -50.
Any other suggestions ?? - error code -50 is "Error in user parameter list", which is not particularly informative.
Since you suspect the name, perhaps rename the file on the laptop to something simple (x.y perhaps) and try the copy again.
There is a limit on the full name (including path) so you could also try saving the file to the main share and not a subfolder, and see if that works.
