Access denied trying to copy file across home network
I am trying to copy a file from an XP system to a Vista system and I'm
getting an error telling me I do not have permission to do it and access is denied to the destination system. Here is the setup: I have a home network. On the Vista system I use START RUN and type in the name of the XP system (ex: system1). Using Windows explorer on the Vista system I drag the file from the source directory on the XP system to the destination folder on the Vista system. That generates the error message. It does not tell me how to get the permission I need but since I am running as the Administrator on the Vista system I didn't think I would need permission. If I just copy the file to something like a USB drive and then plug the USB drive into the Vista system I can copy the file onto my hard drive with no problem. Any thoughts on how to correct this? |
