VB.Net File.Copy Conundrum

Hello.

I have a VB.Net program that copies a file from one server to another server.
This program has been working without any problems for about a year.
A couple of weeks ago the "server from" crashed and had to be rebuilt.
Now, when the File.Copy method in the VB.Net program is executed an error
occurs about 90% of the time, always with a larger file.

Here's the line of code:
File.Copy(sFileName, sDistributionPathFile)

Is there some timeout property somewhere that needs to be set to resolve
this issue? When first setting up this program I don't recall having to do
this.

TIA.

What is the exception you are receiving.? I am not sure if there are any
time outs for a file.copy. Is this a asp.net or winform application. If
it is asp.net then you could be getting a time out from the request time
out. If it is winform or console there should not be a time out.

Hi James.

Thanks for your response. The program is a Windows Application.
The File.Copy is within a Try statement but I dont actually check the
exception.

Try
File.Copy(sDestinationPathFileQA, sDistributionPathFile)
Catch e As Exception
sStr = "Error copying file (" & sDestinationPathFileQA & _
") to distribution server("& sDistributionPathFile & ")"
......

I will change the Catch routine to check the error message.
Thanks for that!
