In case this is useful to someone else in the future ...
To resolve this error, I connected the drive via USB. Picked up the
specific file involved and it was fine.
The error I initially received suggested a sector of the file was
corrupt. Then the error (-36) suggested the drive might be at fault.
But turns out it was the network connection.

Hi, I've been using an external Lacie drive for some time,
connecting via SMB.
Recently I've had a file that appeared to have a bad sector in it,
but now I cannot connect to the entire disk.
The message I get from the Finder is:
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in
"smb://laciedrive/mydrive" could not be read or written. (Error
code -36)
The Lacie drive is connected to our network via Ethernet. I am
connecting to to it using smb
smb://laciedrive/mydrive
Have tried rebooting the drive and reconnecting.
Anyone recognise what is happening here? Is it likely I have a
faulty file or drive?

Lacie drives are known to suffer power problems . You could check
the power pack is plugged in properly ,
and try a substitute if you can access one.
