I'm not quite certain what you're asking about the context menu. I'll
try to state the issue more clearly.

Normally, I left-click (or shift-left-click or ctrl-left-click) to
select file(s) I want to copy from the source directory. I select Copy
from the context menu, then move to the target folder on the SMB share
in the same Nautilus window. At that point I right-click the target
folder. Sometimes the "Paste into folder" selection is grayed out / not
available.

I should have done more work on this to try to define the problem more
precisely before posting, but it's not consistent at all -- except for
one thing. It does seem that I'm more likely to have the problem with
the target system that uses an external USB wireless NIC.

The thing is that I don't believe it could be a permissions issue at the
target because drag-and-drop always works. I just prefer to use the
right-click context menu, as I suspect that it's a little less error-
prone.
