Also: if the colon is in the name of a directory you are copying, the directory gets created with the colon in the name, but any attempt to put files in it hangs.
Deleting the colon-named things via Files does seem to work, though. And transferring files with spaces, dashes, and umlauts in the names works fine, too. It's just the colon that causes trouble. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1921651 Title: colon in name causes gvfs hang when copying to phone Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: A colon in a file or directory name causes the operation to hang when copying to a phone via ptp.
