File copy with dolphin from smb to smb remote folders don't work,
it seems to start as a notification appears, but the progress bar never advance.
Folders seem to be copied, at least some of them, but the copy seems
to stop at the first file.
The first file is created at destination with 0 bytes size.
Worst problem appears if you try to overwrite some files, as first of them is overwrited with a 0 kb file, so you lose it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Copy a file from a smb remote folder to another smb remote

Actual Results:  
0 bytes file generated, overwriting existing if it's the case

Expected Results:  
normal copy, as it works doing smb to local and then to smb

If the smb server from which the file is copied from and copied into is the same server, then the problem is caused by the same issue in bug# 250882. Namely, the "maxInstancesPerHost" property is missing from smb.protocol ; so only once instance of the ioslave is created per host.

Add the properties listed below to your own smb.protocol file and if the issue does not get resolved, feel free to reopen this ticket.

maxInstances=20
maxInstancesPerHost=5
