I?m trying to set up two machines running OS X to share files from one
machine to the other.

We copy files from our home office server (a windows machine) to a Mac at
another location. If the main computer at the other location is in use we
copy the files to another Mac instead. Later they will recopy the files to
the main machine. 

I have file sharing turned on on both machines which allows me to access the
machine as a guest. On the main machine I can see the drop box from the
second Mac, but when I try to copy the files from it to the main Mac it
tells me that I must type in an admin password to make changes to the files
I?m trying to copy. I?m only copying them not moving or deleting so why do I
need to be an admin to do this?

Can someone advise me the best way to go about setting this up and what the
permissions should be on the Public folders, etc.?

Another question, I partitioned the drive when I set this machine up, but
when I logged in as my user I didn?t have access to either partition to add
folders, etc. Did I miss a step in the partitioning process? I can access
everything as admin.
