trying to change read only attribute of folder

[rookie1010]

hello,

i have shared a folder on my desktop and i was trying to copy a file from my laptop to the shared drive on my desktop by using my laptop(kind of kile pushing the file onto the desktop). i got the error message "cannot create or replace file: access is denied. make sure the disk is not full or weite-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

i checked the attribute of the folder on the desktop and it turns out that it is read only, i tried to change the read only attribute but when i hit apply the read only attribute comes back. why is this?

i can pull files (copy) from the laptop onto the desktop. so i guess the read only attribute does not apply for copying the files to

thanks for the replies

i tried the microsoft "cure" but it did not work

i have also checked the options on the sharing tab

1. share this folder on the network
2. allow network users to change my files

but no luck 🙁
