SYMPTOMS
When transferring a PowerPC application file to a PowerPC Macintosh using AppleTalk, from Windows NT 4.0, the following error may occur:

MF1012: remote request failed



CAUSE
This is a bug in the AppleTalk transport layer of the Macintosh components of the Visual C++ Cross-Development Edition for Macintosh.



RESOLUTION
Use TCP/IP for transferring files.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
The following error is generated when using the AppleTalk protocol shipped with Windows NT 4.0 to transfer a PowerPC application built using Visual C++ for the Macintosh to a PowerPC Macintosh:

Copying build results to remote machine...mymac:myvolume:myapp

fatal error MF1012: remote request failed

Error executing mfile.exe.

myapp.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

In addition, the Visual C++ Power Mac Debug Monitor will hang after 15/20K of data has been transferred. In some cases, the system may hang; in other cases, the transfer process may hang. For small executables, the application file may transfer completely but the application may be corrupted and crash as a result.

This problem does not occur with 68K applications that use the Visual C++ File Utility instead.
