May be something as simple as the type of Connection involved

Dial Up is a slow connection and if the file is Big the Server may time out before the task is completed.
As you can not do this task on any Dial Up Connection but managed to do it over a Broadband Connection did you think to try the Sony NB on the Broadband to see if that works? If it does then it isn't related to the OS but to the Method of Connection.
Or to prove it the other way use the Ubuntu system over a Dial Up Connection and see if that can move the files.

So when you try to use any Windows Platform it fails.

Problem with a function on a site
The tech folks there don't know why I can't do this on my computers at home.
I have an old Sony laptop, xp pro, FF, and dial up. Also, a dell desktop, xp pro, FF and dial up. I tried to do the "move" with IE and it didn't work.
I used a computer with Ubuntu, FF, broadband and It worked.
I am ignorant about this. I am not the only one having problems with this function.
I don't know what process the site uses to to this function. I don't know enough to describe it better.
