Yep, definitely done it, copying folders from a to b, I didn't have to make the
folder on a to be shared, but I did have to make the destination folder on b
shared.
Your help was much appreciated.

have you done it then?
If both folders are shared then you should be able to move the files from
either machine. If only one folder is shared, you can only copy to that
machine with the non shared folder, if that makes sense.
So if you want to move files from machine A to B, you need the folders on A
to be shared, and B does not have to be, but then you can only move the
files from A to B from computer B

I wasn't trying to share twice, just trying to copy one folder from one pc
to another. Thanks for your help, I was making the folder it was coming from
shared, but obviuosly I should have made the folder it was going TO shared
as well.
Regards.

why do you need to try and share it twice? As long as you share it, you
can
then copy it over to the other machine.
Or you can make a folder on the machine you are copying to, and make that
read and write, IE full access, and then copy from the ME machine to it.

Trev,
Maybe I'm doing something wrong then, (I'm on win me).
On pc 1 I r/click on the folder that I want to back up to pc 2, I then
click
on sharing, then click on shared as, then click on full. Then when I try
to
do it again, I get : 'unable to create the folder, access denied'
Any help much appreciated.
Doug.

Any folder you wish to give permission to change is quite easy. I am
using
XP, and all you do is open Windows Explorer or my Computer, and navigate
to
the folder you want to use.
right click the folder, and select Sharing, next you chose to share the
folder, and also you then can tick another box to allow network users to
change folder contents. W2K and W98 should be very similar I think, but
not
used them for ages to check, sorry.
Hope that helps you out,

Sorry Trev, I'm a newbie to this, can you explain how I can give the
folder
the permission please.

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.

Hi all,
Some of you may remember a little while ago, I networked 2 computers
with
the excellent help of some of you, in particular Trev. 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 ?
Doug.
