Description Murray Cumming 2008-08-04 10:41:06 UTC 
I am sharing a folder from my laptop with gnome-user-share (WebDav). I can see that folder in the Network place on my desktop. I can copy individual (MP3) files from that folder to a folder on my desktop. But when I try to copy a folder of files, I get, for instance, "There was an error copying the file into /home/murrayc/Music/Paul Simon." with "Not Found" in Show More Details.

-> gvfs/dav

This sounds to me like a bug in the dav gvfs backend, reassigning and CC-ing gicmo.
Comment 2 Murray Cumming 2008-08-04 12:35:36 UTC 
Interestingly I was able to create an archive (with FileRoller I guess, via the Nautilus context menu) on this folder even though I couldn't copy from it.
Comment 3 Henrik Holst 2008-10-23 07:08:33 UTC 
I think it is the same bug that I have encountered, when gvfs-dav downloads a directory it performs a GET request on the directory. GET for directories is undefined in the WebDAV specification.

Some webservers perform a html directorylisting on GETs so gfvs then downloads that as a file on copy... Other webservers block GET completely for GETs and then the "not found" error occurs.

So gfvs needs to be told how to really perform a directory download (i.e PROPFIND on the directory to find out the contents and then perform individual GETs for each file and PROPFIND for each subdirectory).

This is a dupe of Bug #551339

Michael, I think you are right. Dupping.
