How can I get full privileges to a computer on my home network
Greetings, I'm not very experienced in matters of networking. I set up a wireless home network between two pcs both running windows 7. The second pc is used by the family. It has four accounts on it, one for each user. I would like to sync files from my work pc to my account on the family computer so that in the event my work pc fails I can use the family machine as a backup. This is important as I run my business from home on my work pc. I can access all files on both machines. I can see my pc from the family system. I can copy files to the c: drive of the family machine as long as I don't try to copy to a folder in a user account. But when I try to write files to my account on the machine I am denied access and informed that I don't have access rights.
I went to the c: drive and shared it out to everyone on the network (me). As far as I can see I have the required privileges but there must be something more required to write to a password protected account. If it's the passwork I don't know where to enter it from my work pc.
I've been futzing with this now for hours and got nowhere but here. If anyone can help me out I'd be all sorts of pleased and grateful.
