Hi,
It is unclear what you are connecting to, or from but in Leopard,
here's what youdo:
1. On the Mac that you wish to connect to, enable file sharing.
2. Add a share point for your hard drive, or whatever folder you
wish to share. You can do this by adding a share point from the
sharing preferences or in the finder from get info on the item.
Although, the get info option may crash VO and you may need sighted
help.
3. On the Mac you want to connect from, go to the "Network" option
in the finder menu, look for your Mac listed there. Select it, and
find the "connect as" button in the window item list.
4. Log in as your primary account.
The root problem is Leopard now will automatically connect as a
guest. So, you have no permissions andsee just the Public folder.
Great feature of Leopard, eh? Ugg. The other half of the problem
is that Leopard no longer lets you see all your hard drives even if
you connect as an admin user. You have to make the share point
directly in get info or sharing preferences.
I think once you connect as yourself instead of a guest, you'll be ok.
Best,

Hi all,
Due to my recent bootcamp issue, I'm having to transfer music and
whatnot to my Mac all over again. I've turned on file sharing on
the Mac, and I see that that in network places or whatever it lists
my public folder as being available, however I can't actualy go
into it because permitions are denied to me, is it possible to fix
this so that I can copy files?
Thanks.
