Mac Finder copy error code -41

Submitted by benjy on Thursday, July 21, 2011 - 12:40.

Today I had the annoying error code -41 when copying files around on my Mac. Well I had no idea what that was supposed to mean, errors are hard enough to solve at the best of times without something as useless as "error code -41". Anyway I found my solution with a little bit of searching and I felt the link was well worth sharing. http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20046071-263.html

For those of you who don't care why but want a quick fix then it's a simple as 

sudo chmod -R -N DirectoryYouAreTryingToCopyTo

so for my all I had to do was 

sudo chmod -R -N htdocs
