The best way to avoid losing names and attributes is to arc the files first, then copy them over. If you need them again, they'll unarc with all the proper names, paths, and attributes all intact... if you make your arc right.  :-)

Another possible source of corruption is that during the copy to the Mac (or back) it doesn't think the archive is a binary file. Most transfer methods with Macs are designed to automatically convert PC text to Mac text conventions and back. It was REAL common for people to have that issue back when Mac emulators were the rage on the Amiga.
