I'm connecting to a windows 7 box from a OSX 10.6 box via smb:

smb://ftp1

Connection works fine, I can transfer individual files one at a time, but as soon as I try and move an entier folder I get the following error:

The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “test” can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)

This error happens on all our OSX boxes when trying to push the entier folder to the Win7 box.

The folder TEST in the above error message has -R 777 permissions. I can move every image file to the windows box one by one with no errors. But if I try an move the entier folder. bam error out. This error seems to kill the smb client on the Windows box as well.

There's an FTP server on the windows box and I can FTP in from the OSX box and move everything just fine.

Not sure what is going on here?
