Drag to Windows UNC folder fails

Windows 7 64-bit

Dragging and dropping a file from Cyberduck to a Windows UNC folder doesn't copy the file. It creates a file with a random GUID of zero bytes, but doesn't then update this to the file one wants to download.

Steps to reproduce:

Open an explorer window Navigate to a UNC path (ie. \\myserver\myshare\myfolder\) Drag and drop a file from an FTP site in Cyberduck to this window A 0 byte file named like d9df9260-d0ae-4dce-b765-b40ab8759f64 will be created, but nothing downloaded

This may be related to ticked #5329 which I just created

Same applies to a UNC mapped folder that is offline synced. The path for the local filename resolves from a UNC style path to a locally prefixed path, such as from \ \profiles\andy to c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace\profiles\andy, however this path is not accessible for direct writing. Also see (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc296092(v=VS.85).aspx).

To support this scenario we would need a shell extension which we currently do not have. Technical background information can be found here.

Wanted to add: Drag and Drop to WSL (Windows-sub-system for Linux) folders (which are some kind of network drives) doesn't work, as well. I need to copy files to a folder I created just for this and from there drag the files to the WSL folder :-( Even worse because no split view is available in Cyberduck, or is there?

OK, thank you for analyse and explenations.

Workarounds so far... ...drag&drop to local drive and manual move to networkshare ...use context function "download to..." (which works as well wirh network shares)

For the future, it would be nice/great to either... ...display an message "drag&drop not possible to UNC destination" (in order to avoid user confusion) OR EVEN BETTER ...provide a shell extension to make drag&drop possible to UNC destinations with cyberduck

Cheers, Martin

So, for the scenario of Drag/Drop from Cyberduck to a Shell-window (or rather: Any other application): Would you mind if there is no entry created in the Transfers-window (as Drop-operations into the Shell won't be restartable anyway). If you need restartable/reloadable transfers "Download To" would be required. I'm not sure what the current implementation of Windows-Explorer receiving an IStorage-object looks like, but either the Explorer provides a progress-window (or Cyberduck provides one outside of the Transfers-window).

Hi guys,

I opened #11703 as I could not get Download To... to work with a UNC share after version 6.8.2. It's been closed as a dupe, but I don't think it is.

Recently 6.8.x stopped working with Google Drive altogether due to the authentication mechanism deprecating on the Google end. So now I have to upgrade, and the bug isn't fixed, so I can no longer sync Google Drives to a UNC share.

Workarounds so far... ...use context function "download to..." (which works as well wirh network shares)

This workaround does not work.

Is there any way to sync to a UNC share (ie. NAS etc) or am I looking at finding another file transfer tool?
