Error copying files in Nautilus

view story

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – When I try to copy some files of a samba server in Fedora 18, I get the error message mentioned below. All the files have in common that they have foreign (French) symbols. These are displayed in nautilus with an underscore and in the terminal with an question mark. I tried changing the system language this didn't work. The files are fine, I can access and copy them when logged in on the server. Anyone who knows how I can fix this? Code: Error opening file: No such file or directory (HowTos)

Stories similar to Error copying files in Nautilus

I have recently installed 64bit ubuntu on my quad core intel PC. One problem that I am having is copying files. The file transfer is VERY quck, you can see the file appear in the new nautilus window and nautilus even produces a preview image for it very fast. The problem is that when copying files there is a LONG pause/delay/halt after the file seems to have copied successfully.

Access to samba shares in Gnome 3.6 appears to be broken. It used to be the case that with "connect to server" you could specify credentials such as username, password etc.

Finding corrupted files 33 weeks 3 days ago

I have a directory that have zillions of files. As soon as I try to copy this directory, I receive a message that a file could not be copied (corrupt ?) and the copy stops.

Is there any command I can type on terminal that can check all files on that directory tree and list all files that could not be copied or that are corrupt?

When I copy files from my camera (connected via USB) to the SSD in my laptop a few files get copied and then the copy stalls. I'm not sure why, any ideas or things to investigate appreciated, or bug reports to go and look at.

I'm completely puzzled about a problem with a single plain text file in my system fedora 12. I used a known software in bioinformatics, maker, to produce lots of plain text files and one of them it seems to be "inaccessible".

mkfifo bin1.fifo tar -C bin -cf - . | tee bin1.fifo | tar -C bin2 -xf - & tar -C bin1 -xf bin1.fifo

It will copy my ~/bin/ directory contents to both ~/bin1 and ~/bin2.

[ubuntu] Copying large files 1 year 8 weeks ago

So I had a few large files to copy, about 5GB each. From/to same partition. Start the copy, it says '3 minutes left', so I think....a quick solitare game. And poof...system hangs. Nada. Nothing. I wait about 5 minutes, and nada...mouse is obviously not working. Power down, reboot. And of course the new directory I was copying to doesn't even exist after a reboot.
