I really need more information on how you are trying to do this. If you are copying the files onto the other computer, it could well be you have not given the shared folder the permission to be changed, there you can't write to it and then you would get an error something like that.

Now I have another prob, I'm trying to copy and paste some folders from pc 1 to pc 2, to do backups and I get the message: Unable to create the folder ***** access is denied. Any ideas what to do ?
