When I try to copy data from an external hdd to ipad I get this error;
The Operation Can't Be Completed.
The operation can't be completed because some data in "X" can't be read or written.
(Error code -36)
I tried with 2 different external hdd’s to copy the same data. It’s same.
How can I fix this?

What you said applies for only editing the files or folders on the external hdd.
It does not matter copying files from an external hdd to ipad.
