Problem Sharing Files on my Network.
I share & transfer my pictures on my network from one computer to the other & never had a problem. For some reason now I can still Copy from Computer 1 to Computer 2 but can not copy from Computer 2 to Computer 1. I get an error message. "Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use. I have made sure that in the sharing screen that the box for attributes for Read only has not been checked off.Any help would be appreciated!!!1 person needs an answerI do too

HiHopefully you checked th space availability too.Otherwise go over the permission.Permission and Security issues with Vista/Win7, check the following settings.All users that are allowed to share need to have account on all the computers that they are allowed to connect to.Everyone is an account, it means a group of all of the users that already have an account and been established as users.Using the Everyone feature saves the need of configuring permission to each of theestablished users, it does not mean Everyone that feel that they would like to login. Users that do not have an account on the computer are Not part of the Everyone Group.If security on the LAN is Not needed and users are Not established, then switching On the Guest account provides semi-open configuration.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Turn-the-guest-account-on-or-off---------------------Point to the a Folder that meant to to be share. Right click and choose properties.In the propertiesClick on the Security tab shown in the pic bellow to the right) and check that the users and their permission (shown in the pic bellow center and left) are correctly configured. Then do the same to the Permission tab.This screen shot is from Win 7, Vista's menus are similar.In both the Security panel, and the Permission panel you have to highlight each User/Group and examine that the Permission Controls are checked correctly.When everything is OK, Reboot the Network (Router, and computer).* Note . The Groups and Users shown in the screen-shoot are just an example. Your list will look the way your system is configured. Jack - Microsoft MVP, Windows Networking. WWW.EZLAN.NET
