[Bug 498152] [NEW] Problem with Ubuntu 9.10 to Windows XP file share

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have these three computers wired-networked using a hub:

Windows XP desktop
Windows XP laptop
Ubuntu 9.10 desktop

In all three computers I have defined a share folder with the option to
allow users to create and change files.

I would like to be able to copy files between these three shared
folders. From Windows XP this works fine. I can copy/paste a file into
the share folders of the other Windows XP and the Ubuntu 9.10.

However, if I try and copy/paste a file from Ubuntu 9.10 into the share
folder of either Windows XP I see that the 'paste' option is not
available when I right-click the mouse. I notice that the 'create
folder' and 'create document' options are also unable when I right-click
the mouse.

I notice that there is no problem in updating an existing document in
any of the share folders from any of the computers. The problem is
creating a new document in a Windows XP share folder when working from
Ubuntu 9.10.

Could you please have a look ?

Thank you.

Regards,
John.
