FW: [Samba] Help Please! - Copying files from Windows to Samba share loses connection

I would suggest mounting the share on the Samba server and pull the 
files directly and cut out the man in the middle (your PC).

That's still an old version of Samba. Is this box set in stone as an 
older version of Suse/Samba or have you considered upgrading Suse and/or 
migrating to another (newer) Linux distro? The reason I mention it is if 
you are seeing errors copying files in this instance, I strongly suspect 
you will see unacceptable behavior in other areas. You might find a 
solution eventually, but upgrading has a great chance of solving this 
and other problems that might pop up.
