Affected by this bug also, I found this workaround for Ubuntu 14.04: As user who needs to access the server, do this:
Step 1 create folders in your home directory which then serve as mountpoints. For each share, you need one folder. example: /home/user/myshare_on_NAS Step 2 Next, create a text file that contains your credentials that are needed to access your shares on the server, name it something like ".mynascred" Edit this file, it should then look like this: username=myusername_for_server password=mypassword_for_server Save, then make sure no one except you can access that file (right-click, properties->permissions) Step 3 make sure, the package cifs-utils is installed Step 4 with root permissions, edit /etc/fstab to add your shares: //ip-of-server/share /home/user/myshare_on_NAS cifs noauto,users,credentials=/home/user/.mynascred 0 0 This is all. Log off and back, then you should be able to access your shares using at least Ubuntu/Xubuntu standard filemanager. No additional mount commands or scripts are required with Ubuntu 14.04 (this might be different with older versions) Hope that helps somehow, Michael -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1312362 Title: Can't copy a file from SMB share to the local file system: Software caused connection abort Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The error reported is "Software caused connection abort". See the screenshot. It pops up right at the end of the copy operation. This doesn't happen when copying the very same file using a different protocol. Neither does it happen when using another device to copy the very same file over SMB. It worked until the upgrade from 13.10 to 14.04.
