Network dropped connection on reset error
by JackBug from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VJ78)
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question.
It's not a network problem but more of a samba issue.
I'm running Linux Mint 19.2 XFCE on a desktop PC.
The issue I'm having is when I try to move or copy a large file > 500K from the PC to a USB-Disk that's set up as a samba drive on my Technicolor EPC3940ADL router (supplied by my ISP), I get this message:
"there was an error copying the file into smb://iinetcable-smb/storage/USB-Drive/ -- Network dropped connection on reset."
Moving any file from the Network Share USB drive to the PC presents no problems.
I had no problem on the same PC running Linux Mint 17.3 or from another Linux PC running Linux Mint 18.3.
I have tried a couple of different distributions using "live CDs" with the same result (same computer and other computers). These other distributions are based on Ubuntu 18.04.
I believe something has changed (samba protocols?) in 18.04 that has bought about my problem.
I cannot change anything in the router and the only option available to access the USB-Drive is samba.
Any help appreciated.
