Re: Unable to copy dot files from external source, using smb
Posted: 14 Dec 2021, 16:56
The problem got resolved by activating the option show hidden files in Nexctloud WebUI in Settings for External Storage.
The issue is that the .dot files are not visible in TNAS.
I can see the .dot files on the Ubuntu source.
I have also stated that with persistence, you can see them in TNAS.
However, the root issue is that any copy/create/rsync fails as the creation of the destination object can not be confirmed.
This example could not be any clearer in showing the issue:
