whilst copying from A source, windows is using a temporairy file untill the copying is completed
using indexing on all discs and virtual memory handled by windows
thus when c:/ is to small or hasn't enough free disk space it will give you hartburn

secondly you haven't elaborated on the specs of your windows pc...
is it'd hdd formatted on fat32 or ntfs?
ciao

wrong...
whilst copying you are (or rather windows is) using the virtual memory
probably you do not have more than 4 GB memory (thus swapfile) and thus you might double the amount of GB's during copying.

of course windows itself uses some amount for keeping it running anyhu
for samba/cifs for explorer for many realtime services
which you can see in the monitor (Ctrl+Alt+Delete)

thus with 8 GB free you might hit the free disc space memory, especially when you also use disc indexing in vista
but you might call yourself lucky that it is working with FTPclient AT ALL, because I would say it shouldn't have.

the direct way of copying is from your VU+ to a vista-mount without having the double filesize issues in windows.
ciao

what does windows do

it reads the filesize
it allocates the appropriate discspace on it's own system
it calculates the amount of virtual memory for copying and in some events cancelling
it creates dynamically thus that allocated space for the file itself and the virtual memory
(it stores it)
it starts reading and burst pulse time writing it to disc as virtual memory
then when all is read it checks whether it has (verify) the complete file copied
after which it will paste a filejournal indicating the file is on disc and similarly will write the appropriate NTFS flags of that copied file on the disc
it then clears, hopefully dynamically the virtual space to previous size

windows sucks
ciao

well you are adding some of the info now which your first message doesn't contain
but even then...

have you replayed the files after vti 2.0 on the VU itself?
meaning using mediaplayer played them files and hav you seen errors or issues not being regular?

Hello,
With VTI 2.0 I have problems to deal with file betwenn 2.1 and 4GB located on my VU duo when I access them from my Vista PC with a cifs network nount (explorer): copy in both direction, rename gives "error 0x8007003A: The specified server cannot perform the requested operation".
If I try to do the same with a ftp mount, everything is OK.

please ...
due to some interpretation errors and or misunderstanding (by me) restate your problem...
i seem to have a mind-block between your first and third message!
ciao

ah
I guessed someone was off sync

anyhow
you are using the VU+ as a samba/cifs mount for data
thus are making a loop from vu+ via windows to VU+????
ciao

and at the same time I'll show you a direct link of the hdd from the VU+ in my network

then i would suggest, not able to replicate your problem
flash again the new image
but next to editing the smb.conf (workgroup) also edit etc/hosts

I could not assume other issues but a faulthy flash
ciao

I have the same problem with Window 7.
Someone found that Editing software like DVR studio doesn't work anymore with the last release of firmware and their unofficial manipulations?
Someone found that it is impossible to transfer files over 2 GB and it is impossible to play that files from PC?
I was forced to downgrade to official image April 2010 to have Vu+ DUo properly working

@cicutina,
when someone else found a certain issue, it might be his issue only
so he did something wrong
I work with many software and with windows and/or linux, never had any problem or issues as you are stating here above.

and as far I can see such issues are not related with the new VTI 2.0 image.

gr4810, didn't answer after his last post and i assume his problem evaporated with flashing the 2.0 once more.
He probably had a strange loop going on regarding file sharing and rights (reading writing) as a specifiq user.

though i might be wrong assuming and urge gr4810 to give feedback.
ciao

Thanks for your answer.
I tried different firmware based on 5.2 official image and the result was always the same.
Impossible transferring files over 2 GB due to an Error 0X8007003A - server can't perform operation or insuffcient memory ( I have 8 GB RAM on my PC).
Since I solved switching to old firmware it's not really a problem for me, they work fine and I'm satisfied.
Apart this problem( that probably as you say it is only a my problem) this receiver is a very good machine, probably the best I tested till now.

I have the same problem.
When I try to play a film in stream from vu to pc with vlc or other software, the player can't read the file. The same if I try to transfer the film with explorer to pc.
Via ftp I can transfer the file and, when it is on the pc, I can play it.
This happens with win7,vista and xp on different pc. With linux I had no problems.
It seems some trouble with permissions, but it doesn't happen with all films.

surely you know that there are a hell of a lot issues concerning the windows versions which might prevent large files to be managed
but when you do have the correct workgroup written in the VU+ (see /etc/samba/smb.conf ) then the VU+ files must be obtainable by any "well managed PC" using the network icon (thus explorer) on your PC

you might copy paste the content of the samba configuration in here for us to check
though I might add that some windows installations do have the GUEST login disabled because of other security software and when that is the case, you are logging in with a unknown account to the VU+ samba server.

workarround
what I once in a while do is, make an new login account on the windows pc, with the same account name and password as the VU+ has
so
root
blablabla
be sure to change the VU+ password also because samba needs a password
and then login the windows with that account
see whether you can copy files from the VU+ with the explorer

password change on the VU+ can be done via menu and or via telnet.

ciao

This is the.conf file of original April firmware that, as i said, works fine.
Differently from the last 5.2 firmware, here Vu+ icon in the network windos doesnìt appear but in order to access files i solved simply typing \\box address.
What about differnce from 5.2 image.conf file and the one I reported below?
Really I spent hours setting and storing all satellite positions on my external Vbox2 positioner that I can't dare to reset everything and installing the 5.2 firmware again only to check .conf file without to be sure to solve the problem.

Ciao
