Description Giacomo Mirabassi 2012-02-02 11:08:10 UTC 
When I try to copy large files (about 800Mb) from my NAS using samba i get a "connection timed out error" in Nautilus. I don't get the same error if copying the same file using smbclient from command line.

-> gvfs

Sounds like a problem with the GVfs SMB backend.
Comment 2 Tomas Bzatek 2012-02-08 18:07:50 UTC 
Could you please post exact error message or a screenshot?
Comment 3 Giacomo Mirabassi 2012-02-09 09:08:11 UTC 
The error text (in Italian) is the following: 

"Si è verificato un errore nel copiare il file all'interno di /home...etc

Connessione scaduta"


a screenshot in English that seems to report the same error is on this page

Comment 4 Ross Lagerwall 2014-05-17 22:08:03 UTC 
Does this still happen?  It would be nice to know if this is a libsmbclient issue or a gvfs issue.

Please run the following in a terminal:
pkill gvfs; GVFS_DEBUG=all GVFS_SMB_DEBUG=10 `find /usr/lib* -name 'gvfsd'` &> ~/log.txt

Then mount the smb share, reproduce the problem, and then upload log.txt in your home directory so we can see a log of what is happening.  If possible, it would be good if you could do the same but reproduce the problem using the gvfs command-line tools; e.g. gvfs-copy smb://host/path/to/file ~/Downloads/file
