SMB Large File Transfer

tuaris · 04:11 PM

I've noticed this on many different computers at many different environments. I am connected to a Windows share, I want to upload or download a large file (it's happened with files as small as 10 MB or 30GB). The transfer begins ok, but somewhere around 30% It stops with an error "Timeout Reached". The "retry" button is useless. When I click "Cancel" the window closes.

I have also seen this happen in Suse Linux Enterprise Server 10, except the window does not close.

Also noticed that after this happens, I can no longer access the SMB mounts via the "Network Places" menu, I get "Could not open location 'smb://User@Computer/Share' Unknown error code: 46". The mounts can only be opened from the desktop or the nautilus sidebar.
