example folder: smb://user@storage/data/
even after accepting the error the action is still shown as unfinished in the notification bar of kde.

Moving to kio-extras where the smb ioslave lives.

Colons are not valid characters in file names on Windows and by extension SMB. 

You could try to find a way to configure samba/libsamba to support colons, but honestly you'll probably have an easier time simply not using colons.

The stuck notification I cannot reproduce, chances are we actually fixed that somewhere along the line already.

bug also occurs when I try to copy a file to an ext4 samba share.
Comment 6 Harald Sitter 2019-03-26 11:25:45 UTC 
The file system has next to nothing to do with it. A server may be Windows or not, a Client may be Windows or not. Our code is oblivious to either as it acts as a frontend to libsamba, it doesn't deal with the nitty gritty details of the SMB protocol directly. We give the library a URL with colon, whether the client and/or server is configured to correctly map colons to something that wont break is up to samba to figure out.
