Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
I have a network consisting of desktop computers and laptops. Laptops
are not always online or they are used by the other users on the go. In
most networks every user in the network is allowed to store data in
separate network folders on every existing laptop (peer-to-peer-
network). If the laptops are online user A can regularly store data on
user's B laptop by drag-and-drop a file in nautilus.
If user's B laptop is disconnected to the network user A gets now the
useless message: „network connection can't be setup. Mounting
impossible“ (or something like that). Consequently user A has to check
over and over again when user's B laptop is online and has then to
repeat after positive feedback the drag-and-drap file transfer. That is
inconvenient and wastes lots of working time.
Because of that mess, Ubuntu should have a sync daemon in nautilus, too,
comparable to the sync daemon for the Ubuntu cloud. Every time user A
starts to copy a file to user's B laptop and when this laptop is
offline, nautilus should offer:
„Network folder is unavailable. Synchronization will start immediately
after network folder's reconnection to the network.“ [Yes] – [No]
A successful date transfer with the daemon should be reported by the
Ubuntu indicator system: "Data transfer of file ... to network folder
... is now completed."
