It is also observed that if the video file is tried to copy back to the local C:\ drive of windows system it throws error further not allowing to copy. Regular files & directories gets copied successfully but the video files are denied. Steps ------ 1. Copy a video file (.mp4/mkv) from C drive to the share mount (ctr C ctr V) 2. Copy back the vide file from share mount to C drive (ctr C ctr V)
