    How can I gain access to move files in my home network?


    I have retired a second computer and have hooked it via Ethernet to a remote location on my home. I can see the files on the remote computer and from the remote computer to the main. When I try drag/drop to get files from the main to remote, I get a permissions denied message. I've changed permissions to allow everyone access but continue to get messages like "destination folder access denied". I get different messages depending on what I've tried, and I can repeat them or supply screen captures if that will help understand my problem.

    Is there a good tutorial somewhere that can walk me through unlocking all of the restrictions so that I can move files between computers at will? This is not an office or public network where security is an issue. I'm only trying to move files between two home computers on my wired network.

    Thanks.

    :)

  2. How can I gain access to my own locked files? Changing permissions doesn't work.

    We appreciate your response. For further resolution on your concern in gaining access to your files, we suggest that you run
    Check Disk. By doing this, it will check your hard drive and correct any errors. Also, it can be useful for troubleshooting read errors and other storage related errors. Kindly refer to the following steps:

    • Open File Explorer.
    • Click on This PC.
    • Right-click the Hard Disk you wish to run CHKDSK on.
    • Click on Properties.
    • Click on Tools in the Properties window.
    • Under Error-Checking, click on Check.
    • CHKDSK will now start to run on Windows 10.

    Your reply is most important to us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

  3. How can I gain access to my own locked files? Changing permissions doesn't work.

    I'm aware of all the responses below and have been trying all of those methods for years (including today). None of them do anything. I should note that it is not ALL the files.

    Out of the 1600 or so on the drive that I'm trying to get, only about 300 of them are locked.

    One of the things on the link from Michael Gall was that the files could be encrypted. So, I took a look.

    Seems that some of my files ARE encrypted. There's where it shows the box checked and there it's got my name (from old computer years ago) as the User with Access as well as a certificate thumbprint. I'm not sure how some of the files ended up encrypted
    and the rest not (unless it's corrupted somehow and just reading that way), but I'm not sure not what the next step would be.

    How can I gain access to move files in my home network?

    You need to change Security settings on the drive to allow permissions for "Everyone". Specifically your User Folder. I just set mine to no password, public sharing on "All Networks" in Advanced Sharing Options. Mainly because if I am working on my Linux test box or my wife's laptop. I can pull up anything that may be on my machine.

    I think that I may have found the key. I changed permissions on the receiving computer and finally got the file to be copied. I'll continue to work with this routine. Maybe my problem is solved. I'll post back later.
