Hi,
I have two Vista machines. On machine A, I enabled sharing on the Documents folder. I am the owner and have the Full Control access. On machine B, I can see the files, but I can't update or create a file in the shared folder. Why is that? Both machines have the same login name and password. Thanks, Heng-yi |

I found where to set it. It's in the Properties - Sharing - Advanced
Sharing - Permissions, then grant the user Full Control access. It seems it's very hard to navigate to the right place to change it. I was looking at the Properties - Security tab and was unable to make it work. On Sep 8, 8:13 pm, "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: Have you assigned permissions in the Security tab?
