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. -- nautilus is unable to copy folders from samba https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185729 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
