CIFS Drag and Drop on Windows 7 Problem

[jimdoyle]

I've installed Alfresco 3.4C - CIFS works fine from inside Office - e.g. Word, can save file to Alfresco Repository. However, while trying to use with Windows Explorer, I have the following situation. Mapped a Z: drive to \\MY-PCA\alfresco. I can browse the folders on my Alfresco Repository…

When I try to drag and drop an MS Word document from my C: drive to a Space created in the Alfresco document library - the file begins to copy - it even displays the filename but with 0 Byte size in the target alfresco folder. Message box appears stating "Copying…"  Discovering Items

An error message then appears "Network Error" there is a problem accessing Z:\Sites\……\Jim Doyle Space

Make sure you are connected to the Network and Try Again

PLEASE HELP - everything is running locally on a laptop…

Thanks in advance

Jim

I have a similar problem. I have done a lot of google searching, but haven't found a solution yet. It seems though that there are many linux bases systems which have this problem when copying large files from Win 7.

My setup, Alfresco Team running on Ununtu LTS newest version, trying to copy a large file from wind 7 64 bit to alfresco via cifs and windows explorer.
