When I copy a large directory using ncopy on a Novell 286 network, for some
reason I get lost connection errors, both on the machine doing the copying
and also on other machines.  This is the first time such an error has occured
with any software, and we are not using packet drivers.

Am I the only person to experience this, or is this a problem with ncopy?
Is there an alternative to ncopy, where files in use will be ignored rather
than generating an error like copy does?

Thanx in advance,
+Mark.
