I want to transfer a dvd image from my laptop (ubuntu 12.04.2) to my fedora 18 box that has selinux disabled. Wired connection to my router allows F18 to browse to U12 and see the file and right click copy, but trying to paste into a folder in my /home/dave directory gives a terse 'permission denied.'
Ideas? will Read TFM if pointed.

Short term work around -- can you scp from your laptop to the desktop? If ssh is working, you should be able to scp.
Longer term -- how are you sharing files from your laptop?

A DVD image is WAY too big to be cut and pasted (which is what I think is what the operation is trying to do).
You need to copy the file from the laptop to the Fedora machine using something like scp or rsync or FTP. Drag and drop won't work across two machines unless it's tied to some copy protocol. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Brain: The organ with which we think that we think. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why? works for me. It doesn't copy the entire DVD image to the clipboard.

As root, set the permissions on the F18 directory to read/write and then run the transfer command as root. (It might work without setting perms on the /dave directory, just run the copy command (in cli) as root. I don't know if you have a super-user GUI file manager, like konqueror, but that would be easier to use if you don't like cli.) --doug

Well, thanks for the suggestions. What I've done is install bittorrent sync on both machines, syncing now at about 5MB/sec. over the LAN. Will try everyone's suggestions later, but this sure is neat.
