Yes, but as the message from your Mac shows, it is your Mac's FINDER
that has run out of memory, and not AppleShare. Increase the
Finder's default MultiFinder partition memory size in it's Get-Info
display (select Finder in your system folder, select "Get Info"....).

Same trick works if you're copying too many files in the one action
and the Finder complains, although I'd recommend MonoFinder for this.
