Cannot copy file to mobile phone: Operation not supported

[Jaromir Obr]

Binary package hint: gvfs

Steps to reproduce:

configuration:
HW: mobile phone Nokia 6300
SW: Ubuntu 10.04 x64 up-to-date
       kernel: 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu
       gvfs: 1.6.1-0ubuntu1build1
       bluetooth: 4.60-0ubuntu8

1) Connect to mobile phone over Bluetooth (click on icon Bluetooth in gnome panel and browse files in mobile phone)
Mobile phone storage is mounted:
-------------------------------------------
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/mira/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=mira)

2) Try to copy a file to mobile phone
mira@turion:~$ cp file.txt .gvfs/Nokia\ 6300/

Expected result:
File is copied, no error

Actual result:
cp: cannot create regular file `.gvfs/Nokia 6300/file.txt': Operation not supported

I tested copying to internal memory or to memory card. None of these operations is working.

Workaround: Copy file using Nautilus (gnome file manager)

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.

The same issue is also present in Precise Pangolin.
Trying to copy files to the mobile phone with nautilus, makes nautilus crash.
