From within my W7 machine, have been trying to save a simple file to my network public folder and W7 is telling me I need permission. What am I overlooking.

What is it you mean by Network Public Folder?
Tell me if I am mistaken-
You are trying to place a file/folder in Users\public folder of a PC that is connected to your Network.
To do this you need to share the folder and the change its security setting so as to include 'Everyone' and give it Full control except special control
Go to C:\Users\Public in the machine you want to be available for writing from the network.
Right click and select properties go to sharing tab and share it.
Then go to security tab and add 'Everyone' in users and give it full control.
You may refer the screenshot.

Thats the ntfs permissions what about share permissions what are they set to on advanced options by default everyone has read only
Now access the public folder through network ,i.e. Network\PCname\Users\Public and check if it is same there. If not do the same thing in security tab there.
Attachment 392040Thanks for your response! I did that the first go around, but just tried it again with the same results. This is Network\PCname\users\public. This was just doing a simple paste of a .jpg file.
It seems that you are trying to share the Public folder itself.
Please share users folder only and public folder will only have read/write permission in share
Follow the screen shots.
Tx for the help, I finally got it to work by removing my previous attempts and re-entering. :)
