moving a LARGE file to external hard drive

Comment:

I have a very large file that I need to move to an external hard drive to free space. The error msg is that there is not enough room on the current drive to create the needed files to either move or copy to the external hard drive. The external has plenty of room. Thoughts on how to get around?
