MacOS: Error 43 - it could be because of that

If you get an "Error 43" error message on your Mac, there are a number of reasons why. The error message occurs if a file, a folder, an edition container or a target could not be found. We explain the causes of the error in this practical tip.

MacOS Error 43: Invalid characters lead to an error message

• When sharing files with Windows files, the error message -43 can be displayed because illegal characters may have been used. Under MacOS, you can use characters in file names that are not permitted in Windows.
• If the file name contains one of the characters "? [] / \ = +;:", | ", The error message alerts you to the problem. Renaming the file accordingly usually resolves the problem.

Error -43 indicating authorization problem

• If another computer is addressed via an SMB server, the form of the URL entered can trigger the error.
• To avoid this, be careful not to include the share name in the URL. For example, the correct URL should be "SMB: // computername".

Check the sharing settings

If you want to open, copy or move a file or folder, or move it to an external hard drive and you get the error code -43, also check the release. This may be the cause of the problem.
