Thunar won't copy/move files from SMB Share

Hi there,

I am using Arch on my Laptop and Manjaro on my Desktop, both with Openbox as WM and Thunar as my FM (with thunar-shares-plugin).  In my local network there is a WD N750 Router which provides a public Windows Share (2TB USB 3.0 HDD). Under Mac OS X and Windows 7/8 it works frictionless, but with Thunar it won't copy files from the share, prompting "Invalid Argument" (no further text). However, copying to the Share works, but it throws a warning stating "Software caused connection abort". The files get copied to the share nevertheless. I reproduced it on both my systems. I googled for this warnings but I didn't  find anything too helpful. So what s

Thanks in advance & greetings

Invalid Argument sounds like Thunar is executing something wrong. Have you tried to connect with smbclient before?

First of all thanks for your answer.
When trying to copy via  smbclient get, I receive

smb: \> get 001.jpg 
getattrib: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED
smb: \> SMBecho failed (NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED). The connection is disconnected now

I can't make anything out of it, but I guess something is wrong on the server-side. How can one
diagnose that best?

thanks&greetings

Try looking for any samba logfile on the WD N750. Often there's a hint what went wrong.
