Prior to Xubuntu 8.10 I used SMB for FUSE for networking browsing. However, after upgrading to 8.10 I found that I would get an error: <b>Transport endpoint is not connected</b> everytime I try to copy a file to my Windows desktop using Thunar. Apparently, this is a known bug with fusesmb, therefore after searching for an alternative solution I found pyNeighborhood.
Installing pyNeighborhood
$ apt-get install pyneighborhood
Configuring pyNeighborhood
Setup the directory which is to be mounted
$ cd /media $ mkdir network $ chmod 777 network
From the panel bar of Xfce select “Application”, “Network”, and “pyNeighborhood”
Select “Edit”, and “Preferences”
Under the “General” tab, enter the “Mount folder:” e.g. /media/network
Under the “File Managers” tab, remove the entry xterm -e mc, and add /usr/bin/thunar as the file manager
Adding a Mountpoint
In the pyNeighborhood under the “Network” tab, right click “Groups” to scan your network groups
Right click the network group found to scan the machines in the selected network
Right click the machine to add it to the right panel
Expand the machine, and right click on a shared folder to mount it
