Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Expectation: To be able to share a folder on a Vista/Win7 PC and have
full read/write access to that folder from a Ubuntu PC via the Nautilus
file manager.
Actual result: Nautilus cannot gain write access to shared Vista/Win7
folders that contain a desktop.ini file.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Right-click a newly created folder on a Vista/Win7 PC and select "Share
with".
2. Use the following dialog to grant network users write access to the folder.
At this stage the folder is empty and Nautilus can successfully write to the
folder.
3. Right-click the same Vista/Win7 folder and navigate to the "Customize" tab.
4. From the "Optimize this folder..." drop-down menu pick any of the available
options. This will add a Windows system file called "desktop.ini" to the
folder.
5. Go to a Ubuntu 9.04 PC and browse to the Vista/Win7 PC using the "Network"
option in the "Places" menu in Nautilus.
6. Double-click the Vista/Win7 folder you shared to mount it.
7. Attempt to create a new folder or file within the shared folder. Access
will be denied.
Interesting notes:
If you go to the ~/.gvfs path via command line and browse to the same
mounted network share you will have write access via command line.
This same issue occurs with the smb4k program in KDE4, but not the
built-in Samba server browser in Konqueror.
Newly-created shared folders on a Vista/Win7 PC that do not contain a
desktop.ini file can be successfully written to with Nautilus.
