My laptop froze up in the middle of a (large) file copy from my desktop (over a simple LAN). The copy operation was about 2/3 complete when this happened and I was just wondering how (if at all) I can resume the copy operation from where it was interrupted.

I'm on OS X 10.6.6

Thanks

Managed to do this using curl using the following command

curl -C - -O file:///Volumes/path/to/desktop/location/filename

where -C - tells curl to continue where it left off copying, and -O to use the same output file name as the source. You need to execute the command from the folder which contains the partially copied file.
