Cannot transfer large file(s) using remote desktop connection (Windows 2012 server)

Question

I am trying to transfer over a large file using remote desktop. I end up getting this error from the image below. Source computer is a windows 7 laptop and destination is a windows 2012R2 server.

Note: I was able to send small files over but when it comes to the larger files, I get this error or the RDP disconnects. Any clue? (Error: 0x800703E3)

• I have checked my RAM usage and the percentage is pretty low.
• I also checked disk storage and have alot of space where the files being transferred should not be an issue.

Error message is:

An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the folder. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem.

Error 0x800703e3: The I/O operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request

Try Again, Skip, Cancel

Error window image.

Solution

I resolved this by transferring the files using the command xcopy from the power shell. Ultimately, I think moving files over with a shared drive resolve the issue.

xcopy [source path] [destination path]

I am trying to transfer over a large file using remote desktop with ftp - That makes no sense. You're either transferring it via RDP or via FTP, but not both.
