Well, yes I have. I have all permissions for Ilya Barskiy (local) and even
the Users group. By the way, when I authenticate from the desktop with the
same user name as created on the laptop, should it not see me as the same
user? (i.e. Ilya Barskiy, member of Administrators), and permissions should
already be there?
Regardless, Users are set to have full control, both Sharing permissions and
NTFS. When I said implies I was referring to the fact that copying is nothin
but reading from the source, and then recording to the destination. If I can
open a file on the laptop in Excel from desktop, that means I can read from
the source. I certainly am able to record to the destination (local folder
on the desktop, or even Desktop on the desktop), but for whatever reason I
can not combine the two actions?! Even more weird, since obviously I have
Modify privileges for the remote folder, because I can put files there from
the desktop, or delete files there from the desktop. SO the question is,
WTF?!!

not explicitly Looked at the folder settings.
To manage folder permissions, browse to the folder in Windows Explorer,
right–click the folder, and then click Properties. Click the Security tab,
and assign permissions, such as Full Control, Modify, Read, and/or Write, to
specific users.

I have encountered this problem that is driving me insane.
I have two machines, a desktop and a laptop, networked via a LinkSys router
(desktop is wired; laptop wireless; not that it makes any difference, I don't
think).
There are identical users on each machine, both with Admin privileges
(members of Admin) and identical passwords.
I am trying to set-up file sharing for certain folders; Simple File Sharing
is turned off
Sharing from Desktop to Laptop works fine - from my laptop, I can see
desktop shares, edit them, and copy from them to the local folders on the
laptop.
Sharing from Laptop to Desktop is broken somehow. Here's what works:
- I can see the shared folders and their contents
- I can read the files from the shared folders (e.g. play a music file in a
player)
- I can delete files in the shared folders
- I can copy to the shared folders from the Desktop's local folders
Here's what does not work, and it's driving me bunkers.
- I can not copy a file from a shared Laptop folder to a local Desktop folder
- I can not copy a file from a shared folder to another shared folder
- The error I get is Error Copying File or Folder, Access is Denied. Make
shure it's not in use or disk is protected;
- Ironically, the error dialog appears after the file would have been done
copying (e.g. the progress bar is full. It spends, say, 5 secs on a large
file, progress bar is filling up, and at the end - error.
- Again, I simply don't get it since I can a) For example, open an Excel
file located in the shared laptop folder from my desktop; and b) Delete the
file located in the same folder from my desktop, which would imply I have
both read and modify privileges, and for copying I would think I only need
Read.
- When I check out Sessions in the Computer Management, I see that I have
"ILYA BARSKIY" user authenticated, which is the name of the user in the first
place (Actually, it's "Ilya Barskiy"; again, same password on both machines)
Can someone tell me what's going on, please? Your help would be much
appreciated.
