I just upgraded to Mavericks - I saw some threads that people are having the same problem. When I attempt to transfer files from my Windows 7 PC to my Mac laptop, it freezes, then I get an error code -51. No, it's not firewall, and no it's not sharing permissions in the PC. Help!!
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I had the same issue. On the PC Win7 I shared the directory and made sure it and the subsequent folders were't read-only and reconnected to the shared folder and violå.
I also see this, but transferring Mac to PC.
MacMini, 10.9, all OS/app updates installed
home-built pc, Win7, all OS/app updates installed
connected 1Gbps wired
Never saw this issue before Mavericks.
same problem here since 10.9
Any fix for it?
Same here as well. MacBook Pro 13" laptop with OSX 10.9. Can transfer small files (e.g. Mp3s, MS Word Docs, PDFs etc) on the network to a server running Windows 2008 R2 server eg MP3 files....but transfering larger files eg TV shows or films produces a failure after about 1.5MB and I get the following error message:
"...The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -51)...."
I previously had a MacBook Air laptop with OSX 10.8 and did not have this problem at all. Also currently have a Mac Mini with OX 10.6 and that machice continues to play just fine with the same server.
So the issue must most likely be a problem specific to OSX 10.9...
Also seeing the same issue - I've been having a lot of network issues sending and uploading files in a variety of protocols (http, ssh/scp, cifs, ftp, etc.) in general since upgrading to 10.9... perhaps something in the TCP stack?
I am also having this problem and it is driving me crazy. the copy operation stoppes after a few files. The last time I tried it managed to copy 4 files of aprox 250MB each.
Our problem turned out to be a bad switch.
