I am really stupid. I can't make file sharing work. Most things
happen easily but I can't get this to happen. Here is the scenario:
15" PowerBook and 12" iBook both running 10.3.6 both have file
sharing turned on but can't put files in the drop box because
message says do not have privileges. Can't connect to the other
because message says password is incorrect.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could do a step by step in
plain English run down on how to get file sharing to work.
Open the accounts preferences on both macs.
Note exactly the user name and passwords for both macs.
If the user name of mac-1 is bill and the p/w is flower
Then from mac-2 connect to mac-1 and enter bill and flower.
You will have access to the whole hard drive as you have authenticated
as
the owner.
Reverse the above to gain access the other way.
Most people just get confused about which password they are supposed
to be
entering.
Hope that helps
Rob
