That program is the Finder, but could be any other program capable of
writing files to disk. Those programs will be running in any other machine
in the lan most of the time. I don't know if this is of any help, but my
test case files vary in size from just 30 KB to 320 MB, and probably could
be even bigger.
Thanks in advance!
This make things harder?
