How to copy file from local to share with JCifs?

Question

I can copy file from share to local. But I want to switch, and copy a file from local to share.

I am trying this code:
SmbFile oldFile = new SmbFile("c:/tmp/test.xml");
SmbFile newFile = new SmbFile("smb://someone_pc/tmp/test.xml", new NtlmPasswordAuthentication("", username, password));
oldFile.copyTo(newFile);

But I am getting an exception on copyTo method:

Invalid operation for workgroups or servers

How should I copy file from local to share?

Complete solution for copying file from local to shared disk over SMB protocol using streams like Javi_Swift (writing in parts - solution for large files where it's not possible to load whole file into memory):

// local source file and target smb file
File fileSource = new File("C:/example.jpg");
SmbFile smbFileTarget = new SmbFile(smbFileContext, "example.jpg");
// input and output stream
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileSource);
SmbFileOutputStream smbfos = new SmbFileOutputStream(smbFileTarget);
// writing data
try {
    // 16 kb
    final byte[] b  = new byte[16*1024];
    int read = 0;
    while ((read=fis.read(b, 0, b.length)) > 0) {
        smbfos.write(b, 0, read);
    }
}
finally {
    fis.close();
    smbfos.close();
}
