Invalid File Handle when copying large file
I have a 10.3 GB file that I am trying to copy over a WAN from Windows Server 2008 SP2 x64 virtual server to another. I was able to copy the file successfully to other virtual servers with no problems, but the last one is giving me problems. I remote desktop in to the destination server, then open the administrative share on the source server to browse to the file, and drag it to the destination server. The file copies for about an hour, then an "Invalid file handle" error appears. I tried copying it from other source servers, but I keep getting the same error. ideas?

I was able to work around the problem by pushing the file from the source server to the destination, rather than pulling from source to the destination. Thanks, Krystian.Zieja, for your help.
