I have two computers on a home network, each configured the same. I can send
files from my computer to my wife's and she can accept and receive them. I
cannot receive file transfers from her, and she gets the message that they
are blocked. Any idea why? I thought initially it was the router config, but
if that was so, then it would affect both computers.

Thanx,
Fitz





Hi Fitz,

You need to check the setting on the shared directory so that the
user has 'R/W' access. Sounds like your wife only has 'read' rights.
