[xubuntu] Thunar and network file deletions.

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi. Although I can do all network operations correctly with Thunar and I can see from the connecting computer, the icons of the files I 've sent, in the shared folder's window, there's this strange thing that happens when I delete a file inside the shared folder from the connecting computer. Not from the host computer. Although the file does get deleted, its icon remains there. I must refresh the shared folder's contents by opening another folder in the same window and getting back to the shared one for the icon to disappear or just close and re-open it. Why is this happening and can it (Hardware)

Stories similar to [xubuntu] Thunar and network file deletions.

This is weird, a few days ago I had a folder on a Win98 machine that was shared over the network. This shared folder contained 4 Sub folders. I went to back them up today and only 2 of the 4 show on my Ubuntu machine. I thought... did I delete them off of the Win98 machine somehow?

... the question is: From whence does Thunar fetch it's default folder icon?! <..:confused:..>

Long story short, I've changed my icon theme, and gotten everything else to respect that choice ... with the single exception of the default folder icon in Thunar.

See below for attached screenshots of three file managers.

First I am quite new to Ubuntu and trying to commit myself to it as a PHP developer. Well, I am running on a guest Xubuntu 12.10 system based on Windows7 host.

I shared my web_projects folder and managed to access it by adding my ubuntu user to vboxsf group under /media folder.

Hello!

I've made a shared folder, and i need it to be write only for guests.

By that i mean guest can move files to the shared folder, but not open/remove/config files in the shared folder.

At first i tried: browsable = no guest ok = yes writable = yes

didnt work.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a Xubuntu 12.04 setup with pyNeighborhood installed. I can connect to a windows shared network, but all the folders are read only and I cannot edit any file.

Following is the command I used to connect

Code: mount.cifs //X.X.X.X/common/ /mnt/gdrive -o credentials=/home/abcde/.pyNeighborhood/.authstore rw After that I can see browse the folders thru thunar but Cannot edit

I am actually working from PC1 (using Mac OSX) on a distant computer(Linux) PC2 using SSH.

This distant computer PC2 does not have any connection to Internet but is in a network with a PC3 (Windows XP) which has no internet connection.

I shared a folder on my PC3 desktop and I would like to be able to use it directly on PC1, using OSX.

I think it's a double SSH tunnelling problem here.

How can

I have a wireless network configured at home. I have a Windows XP laptop and a Ubuntu 12.04.1 laptop. I have shared a folder on both computers. I am able to read/write files from my Windows computer to my Ubuntu computer.

I have a Ubuntu 12.10 machine connected to a windows network where I can access a publicly shared folder. I can see most files and folders but, in what seems like a random selection, some are hidden. If I use the terminal to open nautilus directly to a folder I know exists it opens it without problem but the parent folder still doesn't show that folder. Can anyone help?

Recently installed Debian and completely new to Linux. Samba package installed, and select the shared folder. On my Windows machine, I see the Linux box, but not a folder or drive over it. Shared folder on Linux with SMB (also tried NFS). The machine has Windows TCP / IP, IPX / SPX and NetBIOS protocols. When the Add Network window I can see the image, but not the folder / drive.
