    Homegroup - copying files


    I want to copy files from the source PC to the destination PC, but I don't want to allow editing or deletion of these files from the destination PC. How do I set this up? Thanks!

    Tried setting the destination folder as Homegroup > View, but then it will not allow me to copy a file to that folder.

    :)

    Cannot write to a Homegroup share (need permissions problem)

    I had a Homegroup between a wirelessly networked laptop and a wired computer.

    With both machines running, I left the Homegroup on each.

    Shutdown the laptop.

    Reboot the main computer and create a Homegroup.

    Share the entire User folder and all standard libraries with Read/Write access to the Homegroup and wait for it to complete.

    Share an additional folder outside the Homegroup with RW access to the Homegroup.

    Boot the laptop and join the Homegroup.

    The printer shared from the main computer works from the laptop.

    Share the entire User folder to the Homegroup with RW access.

    Copying files from the main computer to the laptop works without problem, i.e., I can read files.

    Trying to copy a small file from the laptop and try to paste it to the main computer any folder gives:

    Fails with Destination Folder Access Denied. You need permission to perform this action.

    I cannot Write to the main computer.

    I can write to the other shared folder on the main computer.

    It is only anything within the User folder that I cannot write to.
