Affected by this bug also, I found this workaround for Ubuntu 14.04: As user who needs to access the server, do this:
Step 1 create folders in your home directory which then serve as mountpoints. For each share, you need one folder. example: /home/user/myshare_on_NAS Step 2 Next, create a text file that contains your credentials that are needed to access your shares on the server, name it something like ".mynascred" Edit this file, it should then look like this: username=myusername_for_server password=mypassword_for_server Save, then make sure no one except you can access that file (right-click, properties->permissions) Step 3 make sure, the package cifs-utils is installed Step 4 with root permissions, edit /etc/fstab to add your shares: //ip-of-server/share /home/user/myshare_on_NAS cifs noauto,users,credentials=/home/user/.mynascred 0 0 This is all. Log off and back, then you should be able to access your shares using at least Ubuntu/Xubuntu standard filemanager. No additional mount commands or scripts are required with Ubuntu 14.04 (this might be different with older versions) Hope that helps somehow, Michael -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
