[YLUG] mv and cp to NAS via samba

[nigel white]

Any ideas? I am having trouble copying and moving files via samba. I
want to copy files from my own machine to a network attached storage
(NAS) drive called qserver.

I can see smb://qserver/q/temp in the gui file browser.

When I do
mv /home/nigel/Documents/other/test2.txt smb://qserver/q/temp
I get
mv: cannot move `/home/nigel/Documents/other/test2.txt' to
`smb://qserver/q/temp': No such file or directory

When I do
cp /home/nigel/Documents/other/test2.txt smb://qserver/q/temp
I get
cp: cannot create regular file `smb://qserver/q/temp': No such file or
directory

When I use the gui file browser to copy the file, I get
Error while copying test2.txt. Connection timed out.

The NAS is a QNAP TS-109 Pro with embedded linux including a samba
server. www.qnap.co.uk

Please phrase any suggestions gently, as I am still a newbie though I've
been using linux every day since your last installfest.

Many thanks
