Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am trying to copy some files in a folder from an iMac of vintage years onto a G4 laptop. They are both on ethernet and when I try to put the folder into the Drop-box I get the usual msg about insufficient privs to see them and then it comes up with "the copy could not be created because the folder "files to keep" could not be created. OK! Well it isn't OK :-(

Hi Mac,

Try to set the privileges to Read/Write for everyone on all the files within the folder. If you still are unable to copy them across a good application is "SharePoints" from http://www.hornware.com
This is a great tool to look at permissions.

Cheers,
