I have shared a folder on machine A running Ubuntu, see Cannot access shared folder on another Ubuntu machine for details.

On machine B (also running Ubuntu), I can access this shared folder through nautilus (read/write content). But, when I try to download a file using B in Chrome and specify the destination as the shared folder on A it fails.

Why can't I download directly to the shared folder on A from B?

  • May be the specified destination is incorrect. You've not mentioned the exact detail, so there is no way to know.

  • I selected the destination using the File Chooser dialog box so its not possible to select something that does not exists/is invalid.

I tried to mount the network share in /etc/fstab so its mounted at start up and that solved the problem and I can now download to the share.
