Just a WAG. Yeah, the workaround I found was to copy it to a tmp folder on the same drive, then to the Win7 server. Win8 evidently enforces a rule against copying user folders tp another machine, but not to other folders on the same machine and not from those folders to other machines. Utterly stoopid, like much else in Win8. I reckon our one Win8 installation has cost us about 12 wasted hours in three months. What a piece of crap. > As to moving to Linux on a permanent basis, I have found that on my laptop > with 8GB RAM, VirtualBox runs just fine, so I have a Windows 7 VM there.
