[Bug 185729] Re: nautilus is unable to copy folders from samba

[ewmcnee]

My solution has been to permanently mount the NAS volume by editing the
/etc/fstab file. With it mounted, even Nautilus doesn't have problems
any more moving files or complete folders.

In my case, the NAS volume is //192.168.1.100/Volume_1 and I have
mounted it at /media/backup. The line I added to fstab is this:

//192.168.1.100/Volume_1 /media/backup cifs guest,uid=1000  0
0

Now if I browse /media/backup with Nautilus... bingo! I can properly
manipulate all the files and folders again.

Hope this helps.

[Bug 185729] Re: nautilus is unable to copy folders from samba

I have the same file/folder problem with Nautilus in Hardy. Files will
copy from the NAS but folders will not.

I installed the "Dolphin" file manager and it has no problem with the
copy of files or folders, so I think the problem lies in Nautilus and
not Samba.

Perhaps using Dolphin or another file manager will help people until the
bug is fixed.
