The origin of the problem seems to be a change in Samba itself. So I presume sooner or later other distributions will have the same problem - as soon as they upgrade Samba to the same level.
This is the link to the bug at Samba: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10584 It looks like this bug affects Zyxel NAS based devices. Among which are the Medion devices. IOMega seems to be affected too. They're on it now - looking to the Samba source code changes done by Zyxel. I hope they find out soon what's going on - because I'm not going to throw away a perfectly good working device. ** Bug watch added: Samba Bugzilla #10584 https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10584 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1312362/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
