Xcopy stops with error "Insufficent Memory" across network

[Crajyman]

Scenario:
- Windows XP Professional with latest windowsupdate
- Copying files from laptop over a wireless network.
- Using cmd.exe with xcopy /s /D Z:\*.*
- where z: is a share on another computer

The xcopy command works partially but errors out
somewhere in middle of copying files with "Insufficient
Memory".

Cannot find resolutiion on KB.

Hi Crajyman,

I think XCOPY puts everything into memory to dump the data to the
destination....

So you could break your payload into smaller parcels? (less than your RAM)
Or how about increasing your virtual memory long enough to do the xcopy?
Increase it by the amount of your payload.


Good luck,
