Re: [ubuntu-uk] 13.04 unable to copy folders from a samba share

Thanks for all your suggestions I'll give them a try when I get a moment. (Pity it's broken though - maybe it'll be fixed in the next LTS :) ) George -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
