When reporting a bug, please also upload the `yazi.log` log file - only upload the most recent content by time.
You can find it in the "/home/tlss/.local/state/yazi" directory.

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the problem got fixed?

Yes, and I updated the debug information above (yazi --debug) to the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

I copied a git repository dir to a samba device, and yazi got stucked, it says permission denied. I canceled the task, then tried to delete the dir, yazi got stuck again, also says permission denied.

Minimal reproducer

Download the zip file and unzip, copy the file to a samba device.

pack.zip

Anything else?

I tried 3 times use yazi, all failed. Finally, I use dolphin to make things done.

Does it work if you call std::fs::copy() function directly on these files in a Rust app? It's the API that Yazi uses to copy files.

[TobisLee]

Not work. Same permission denied Error

[sxyazi]

Does it need a different API for copying network files - I'm not familiar with that

Also, what if you're running with root permissions?

[TobisLee]

Does it need a different API for copying network files - I'm not familiar with that

I don't think there is a different API for network device, since other files is successfully copied.

Also, what if you're running with root permissions?

I run sudo yazi, the file is copied successfully.

Update: I use xcp to copy file, and it worked.

[sxyazi]

That's weird, I'm not sure how to fix it since what Yazi does is just call std::fs::copy() to copy files, and the error is returned by the operating system, while std::fs::copy() itself isn't working at all.

This might be a Rust bug, have you tried the copy function from the standard libraries of other languages to see if they work?

[TobisLee]

I tested fs::copy_file in C++ and shutil.copyfile in Python, they all work fine. It seems like a Rust bug.

[TobisLee]

Since this issue is not related to yazi, I'll close this issue.

[sxyazi]

FYI there's a related issue #1775

[TobisLee]

Glad to see this fix, but I think fix it in yazi is a little bit weird. Can you make a PR to Rust and we can still use fs::copy in yazi?

[sxyazi]

It's hard for me to say Rust would accept this because failing to copy files when permissions can't be set seems like a deliberate choice.

From Rust's perspective, copying a file must succeed in both permissions and content to be considered successful, even if the target filesystem doesn't support setting permissions.

However, this clearly contradicts our practical experience, where we hope at least the file content can be copied successfully, even if setting permissions fails.

[TobisLee]

Make sense to me, thanks!
