Hi,

thanks for the quick response!

I get the error: Destination directory is not writable

I have the correct permissions for the folders and I can copy and move files outside of vifm to the location set in the config with cp, mv etc

I guess this could be an issue with my system config though.

Is that a regular directory or some kind of network share or otherwise special mount? On which OS is that?

Yes, mounted nfs on Linux, but having tried moving a local file to a local dir, the same error occurs!

Sounds like there is a mistake in your command. Can you show it?
