Authenticate Moving Files to USB Drive
My MDD G4 has a Verbatim USB drive which I use for backup and storage of certain files. But when trying to save certain photos and text files that I have gleaned from the internet, i get a message that i don't have permission to save to this drive. So I save the files to my desktop, but when moving the files from the desktop to the USB drive, I get a message that the files cannot be modified and I have to Authenticate the move with my name and password. Seems to me i did not have this issue when I first connected the USB drive. How do I eliminate the necessity to authenticate the move every time I try to save a file to the USB drive?

Highlight the drive, and do a Get Info and under the Sharing Permissions tab, check the box Ignore Ownership on this volume. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
