Solve : Network sharing.? |
|
Answer» I have a Dell Desktop computer using WINDOWS XP Professional and an Acer 5810T Laptop using Windows 7.Both computers are sharing a network via a ROUTER. Originally I set the Network up so that I could access and change documents on any computer from any of the two computers and use one as a back up for the other. This has been working satisfactorily for about twelve months. The last couple of days I have been getting a message on the Windows 7 Laptop when transferring from Laptop (Windows 7) to Desktop(Windows XP) saying “Destination Folder access Denied” “you need PERMISSION to perform this action”. As far as I am aware I have not changed anything. If I perform the same action using the Desktop to transfer the same file from Laptop to Desktop I have no problem I have run a CHECK, with my limited knowledge, of various permissions etc., and they appear to be correct though obviously not. I would appreciate some guidance AitchQuote from: Aitch65 on July 13, 2010, 08:27:09 AM
I ASSUME you meant "If I perform the same action using the Desktop to transfer the same file from Desktop to Laptop I have no problem? It is probably a permissions error. However, without any info (such as screenshots, usernames) it's hard to tell you what you need to change. Make sure that on the desktop with the folder that is shared you have the username added to it for both security tab & sharing tab and each has full control.Not quite. I can use the Desktop to transfer files from Laptop to Desktop. I cannot use the Laptop to transfer files from Laptop to Desktop. I will have another look at permissions but they seem to be correct. I will post more information later. AitchI think I have solved the problem. It was a lazy error I was trying to copy to My Documents, which in my case is also Administrators Documents instead of Shared Documents. Thanks for your guidance it at least made me look wider into the problem AitchGlad I could help somewhat. |
