FileSystemException error when renaming on SMB network share

[pulzar]

Recently purchased FileBot 4.7.7 and have found the GUI works well locally on my Macbook, but connecting to the shares on my PC Media Server has now cost me hours of mucking around trying to work out why I keep getting the message:

FileSystemException: /Volumes/Share/Folder/Title -> Renamed Detail

Have confirmed all share and security permissions are set with full access on the server, and that I'm connecting to the share as the administrator. Can directly rename or trash anything in the folder from within Finder, so can't understand what's not working.

Copying the files to my Macbook I can easily FileBot them and copy them back again, but when we're talking about TB's of files it's a total waste of my time and not what I'm wanting to do.

After spending money to purchase the app from the Application Store it's frustrating to not be able to get it working within my environment, and it's doing my head in not being able to get to the bottom of it!

My Macbook Pro is running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5, please don't ask me to upgrade to the latest OS X release as it's incompatible with other software I use.

Help me RedNoah Kenobi, you're my only hope!

Finder is special. Other programs, especially sandboxed ones, may not have the same elevated permissions that Finder has.

I'm connecting to the share as the administrator

FileBot is running as your local user. Did you mount the network drive as your local user? (regardless of SMB access credentials) Different users may not have access to each others shares or privileges.

Is FileSystemException: A -> B really all it says? Is there no reason after the paths in the error message? Click the error message to copy the text to the clipboard and then paste it here please.

Network filesystem issues are common and manifold. Doing a quick search on Google might help you find a solution or a workaround depending on your setup. Might be a Mac OS issue. Might be a SMB issue. Tweaking some seemingly unrelated settings might fix it. I recommend trying both SMB and AFP protocols if that's an option.

Unfortunately, every file is a local file as far as FileBot is concerned, so if it works for local files, but not network shares, then it's a problem in the OS network filesystem abstraction layer and FileBot has absolutely no way of doing anything about that.

I'm having a similar problem, except I use NFS to access my NAS. The error I get is: "FileSystemException: /path/to/folder: Operation not supported". Any ideas how I can deal with this?
