You have been subscribed to a public bug: I tried copying and moving files by drag/drop with Nautilus from an internal hard drive to an external hard drive. All files (most were music files of various formats and jpg files) that had special characters such as : " ? etc. would not copy until I removed these characters from their name. I would just get an error that the files could not be copied and ask if I wanted to retry or skip. This made the simple task of transferring my daughters 6000 music files and 5000 photographs very long because I had to rename several hundred files. I am using Ubuntu 7.10. Thank you.
