It is unclear to me that this is fixed. If I mount a cifs share manually using the mount command, I have no problem reading and copying files from it.
However, if I use gvfs-mount and then try to copy many files, rsync or nautilus (whichever I'm using for file copying) will fail and I will need to kill the process. I'm using a fully up-to-date Ubuntu 12.10 which is using: gvfs (1.14.0-0ubuntu5) quantal; urgency=low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932935 Title: nautilus ftp file transfer hangs when transferring directories Status in GVFS: Fix Released Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: This report is basically the same as bug #574693 but it is already closed as fixed and won't be reopened. I ran into this issue in Ubuntu 11.10 x64 while copying from the FTP server to my Ubuntu box. Please see attached video. gvfs: 1.10.0-0ubuntu1 nautilus: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu3.2 Linux: 3.0.0-16-generic FTP server: OpenWRT Backfire (10.03.1, r29592), Linux 2.6.32.27, vsftpd 2.3.4-2 List of files I tried to copy: ./Sample/thuck-wtts-sample.avi thick-wtts.nfo thick-wtts.r00 ... thick-wtts.r57 thick-wtts.rar thick-wtts.sfv The name of the directory: Welcome.to.the.Stukko.3333.HUN.DVDRip.XviD-Thuck The size of the whole directory is approx 1.1 Gbytes. The rar files are approx 20 Mbytes. 64 files, 1 subdirectory. (This material is of course a public domain home made footage) I already reproduced this bug three times, copying only worked when I tried to copy the files themselves and not the whole directory. The operation always stops around 20 megabytes. When I close all nautilus windows, the little copying bar still remains in the Launcher on the icon of nautilus indicating that some operation is still ongoing but nothing is actually happening.
