I am having a file transfer issue.
I have an usb flash drive that I have constantly sent files from. I am now all of a sudden receiving the message above. It only happens when I try to send from the flash drive. I can send from my PC's hard drive no problem. Can anyone help?

@trishsdn I've some news for you. 🙂
This is a know issue in the current version. Our dev team has fixed the problem and will deploy the fix in the next update.
So basically, you'll have to wait for the next release, update your TeamViewer clients to the latest version, and you should be able to transfer the files from your flash drive without any issues.
Have a great day!

When trying to transfer files from a memory stick or SD card on the remote computer (using latest or older versions of T.V., on WIN 11 and Win7 (same version on each machine at any time), both 64-bit) I get:
Error "No description could be retrieved"
LOG:
18:20:34: The connection has been established successfully.
18:20:54: The download was denied on the remote computer.
But it works if I first transfer the files manually to an internal drive, or to an external HDD.
The manual for Remote Control doesn't cover this, and there's no manual for File Transfer that I can find.
It's a bit inconvenient if I have to move files an extra time just to transfer them - I might just as well use the memory stick to transfer the files directly... ; - <
Does anyone know a way to get around this, please?

I just installed Team Viewer on a new Windows 11 machine. I am running into an issue where although I can transfer files from the new Win11 machine., I cannot transfer files from my laptop to it. I had Team Viewer on my laptop for use on another account and everything works fine (Win7, WIn10 and Win11 machines). When I try to transfer files over to the new Win11 machine, it quickly gives me an "Operation Aborted" error message with no details. Seems like that remote machine is blocking it immediately. Not sure what I need to do to get this to work.

Hi All
I hope someone will be able to assist. In Windows 7 if I did a file transfer via Teamviewer and the connections was disconnected. I was able to re-connect and the file transfer would just carry on where it left off.
Since we upgraded to windows 10 this feature is not working. If I transfer a file and get disconnected, I have to restart the file transfer from the beginning again once the connection is re-connected. This is a big problem as we use TV for large file transfers all the time but if I have to restart the transfer every time I loose a connecting it takes for ever to do a transfer.
If anyone has found a work around it would really be appreciated.

Thank you for sharing the screenshot.
Is this happening with all the files, or just with this one?

From one day to the next, I lost the ability to transfer files. It still connects, but when I try to transfer, it responds: 'an error occurred'. My procedure did not change. My phone had an unrelated update (Chrome). I have tried turning off and back on the program, the phone, the desktop and wifi. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program. Why is it no longer working? How do I make it work again? Thank you in advance!

Have you tried to update TeamViewer on both sides of the connection?

Is TeamViewer up-to-date on both sides of the connection?

0 -
Yes, up to date on both sides. As previously mentioned, I can transfer directly from my PC's hard drive with no problems. I only get the message above when trying to send from my flash drive.

I'd like to know if this is a flash drive or TeamViewer issue.
The best way to find it out is if you could try with a different flash drive and check if it is working as expected.
Can you do this?

Yes, I've tried this also. I asked a fellow co-worker to try and send me a file from her flash drive on a completely different PC and she received the same message. I believe it is a TViewer issue.

All of a sudden, I am unable to transfer files to a remote computer.
Error message as follows:
There was an error on the server for the file "drive:\filepath\filename.ext"
Error: The file system reported an error.
Additional information: (2) The system cannot find the file specified.
Files exist at specified location on local computer. I attempted the file transfer from my desktop and laptop .. same problem.
In case it was an AV/Firewall problem, I temporarily disabled both .. no luck.
Any help will be appreciated.

I got the same error when trying to copy a file from a network (file server) drive on a remote computer to a local disk on my local computer.
After first copying the file to the local disk on the remote computer, it worked.
Looks like the TeamViewer file transfer doesn't handle disks correctly unless they are local.

Hi @pellis777 and @BenAtOrangePepper,
do you both have the latest TeamViewer version installed? Currently, it is 15.31.5.
If not, please find the download link here: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/windows/
Please let me know if this issue persists.
Best,

Hi Justin,
Yes, I already had TeamViewer_Setup_x64.exe 15.31.5 on my new 64bit WIN11 PC - updating was the first thing I tried. The problem persists (I've just tried it again).
While you're in touch (you've provided email support to me before, assuming you're the same Justin):
I'm finding the screen refresh doesn't work. I use TeamViewer to communicate with a WIN7 PC sitting right next to my WIN11 PC, linked over wifi, but most of the time the Microsoft Windows Media Center screen showing on the WIN7 PC just breaks up, as showing in the .png file copied in here (see the WMC screen sliced vertically near the left side, and other items not cleared after using the Screen Refresh operation (when I try to take a screen shot showing "screen refresh" it only shows the indication that it's tried to clear the screen, copied in further below). Occasioonally it works well.
The PC is top-end gaming spec with 64 GB RAM and AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor, 3701 Mhz processor (full spec below).
Any advice, please, Justin?
Best regards - Paul

Hi!
I tried to transfer a file between computers. I drag the file onto the remote desktop, and it just springs back. I then looked up how to do it, and the article I found says to go to "Extras/Files" in the TeamViewer menu bar. MY menubar only says "Extras". I did enable file sharing on my remote computer. I do not know what else to do to allow me to exchange files between my two computers. Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
(I'm on Version 15.19.4)
