SYMPTOMS

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.
