Public bug reported: I have a smb share with guest access set up on an OpenMediaVault box. >From a Windows 10 PC I can read and write the whole folder tree of this share, without password. On my Ubuntu box, I can do the same using smbclient, with null password.
However when using Gnome Files to access the share, choosing "anonymous" connect, I can only create or write files in the top level folder. Attempts to create or write to a subfolder result in a "Permission denied" error. Reading works across the whole folder tree. The same happens when using the gio command line interface (here trying to create folders): $ gio list smb://herkules.local/gvfs-bug new1 $ gio mkdir smb://herkules.local/gvfs-bug/new2 $ gio list smb://herkules.local/gvfs-bug new1 new2 $ gio mkdir smb://herkules.local/gvfs-bug/new2/new-sub gio: smb://herkules.local/gvfs-bug/new2/new-sub: Permission denied $ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: gvfs 1.36.1-0ubuntu1.3.3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-72.81-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-72-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: GNOME Date: Sun Dec 15 18:31:16 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-08-03 (1960 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-GNOME 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) SourcePackage: gvfs UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2019-11-16 (29 days ago) ** Affects: gvfs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug bionic wayland-session -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1856476 Title: can only write to root level of smb share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1856476/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
