Comment 0 for bug 1332623

I installed Xubuntu 14.04 and performed no customizations or reconfigurations.

Observation: Thunar 1.6.3 ("File Manager" from menu) on Xubuntu 14.04 handles write permission to inserted USB flash drives inconsistently:
* I am able to create a nil file on the flash drive with Thunar and edit it. Clearly, the flash drive is not read-only.
* Using Thunar, I cannot copy an existing file (E.g. ~/.profile) and paste it on the flash drive - "destination is read-only" (not true!).
* However, in a terminal window, `cp` with the flash drive as a destination succeeds.

I tried this on drives by different manufacturers and with differing capacities and on two different Xubuntu 14.04 installations.

There might be a configuration change for Thunar to allow paste to flash drives. If so, this should be enabled when Thunar is installed as this behaviour is what users expect.
