Issues copying from SMB share

[GhostlyPea]

Hi guys

I have Mint (18.1) installed on my laptop but for some reason I cannot open or copy files from our file server to my machine. I can browse fine and the permissions work OK down to my W10 desktop so something odd is happening but unsure what. If i try and copy a file I simply get the error:

There was an error copying file in to /home/name/desktop

Function not implemented

It feels permission related but unsure. Any advice that can be given?

It's Server 2012R2. Note that this is in a work environment not residential; we're a MS house so if it's not Windows the internal guys won't support it and they are busy enough as it is. Me running Linux on my laptop is down to me to sort out so to speak. What I do know is that if I connect to c$ on my own PC that I am a local admin on it works fine, just the file share won't, however if i connect to the file server from my local PC then my permissions are fine (not admin, just controlled access permissions).

As for the mounting , I connected to it through the file explorer (File --> Connect to Server). Share shows as mounted to my knowledge andI can browse. I also connected to a different serve entirely with the same results.

Edit: also, looks like i can create documents on the remote server too just fine. I just cannot open or copy them

Assume no other ideas?

yes it was over wired but I span the WLAN directly to a VLAN before routing off-net, so if it;s something related to the adapter it would be odd but I can check easily enough. I haven;t tried a different file manager - is there one you would recommend?

Thanks
