Copying or deleting files on Linux network drive
I just started playing around with FAR on my Windows laptop. It is a great program and I would love to use it as much as possible.
From Windows, I can easily copy and delete files on my Raspberry pi network drive using ssh or WinSCP.
In FAR, I can see the network drive, but when I try to copy or delete files (or extract an archive), I get a message saying FAR cannot find the specified path.
Can anybody point me in the right direction to resolve the issue?
Thanks.

Can you please make a text screenshot of a (small!) FAR window with panels and the error message. (Use
Alt+Ins
to enter the Screen Grabber mode and F1
for Help; use [code]
or [ascii]
to post the screenshot here.)Фар есть инструмент, а не нянька. © 2009 DrKnS

Here it is. The message is in French, but it simply says that the specified path cannot be found. In this example, I am trying to copy from the network drive to itself (different folder).

copy the file successfully? Are you able to copy the file to a local drive (e.g. to %TEMP%
) with FAR? Does the error happen for any file on that network drive or only for particular files?20:19 MSK
Does the error repro with the latest FAR build?

I am at work now. I will get back to you tonight but I can already tell you that this happens for all files on the network drive.

As expected, does not work (acces denied).
I guess I need to read on Samba shares, more specifically how to make a shared folder on Linux writable by a Windows user.
Code: Select all
copy Z:\Temp\c.txt Z:\Ebooks\c.txt

Well, I'm not sure what I did (not much, really, other than list users and open and close my smb.conf file), but it seems to work now. I have been able to copy (from both a local Windows folder and a Linux folder to a different Linux folder), extract an archive in a Linux folder and delete all the resulting test files on the Linux folder.
One thing I did was add the ip address and a host name for my Raspberry Pi to the Windows host file (C:\\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).
By the way, I am running the latest FAR build.

FAR works fine. Initially, I did not realize that I was trying to write files or folders on the Linux drive (from a Windows laptop running FAR) where permissions did not allow. When this happens, if I decide that the permissions should allow writing by other users (than the file or folder owner), I modify the permissions (from a SSH session) and can proceed. Blame it on lack of experience with Linux permissions.
