Error Code -36

I am copying files from HD to thumb drive and get a message that it cannot be copied due to error code -36. It is a photoshop .psd file and is large. How can I get it to the thumb drive?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.6

First please review Connect and use other storage devices with Mac - Apple Support.

How is that device formatted? What is its capacity? To find out, select the thumb drive in the Finder, then use the Finder's File menu > Get Info. Its Format and Capacity will appear.
