Hello,

I'm having problems dropping files from my laptop onto my main desktop tower. Both computers are running Windows7 Ultimate edition. I've done everything I could think of and I still get the error message" Destination Folder Access Denied" "You need permission to perform this action" This happens when I cut a file and try to paste, copy and paste, and dragging the file to the desktop computer. This computer (The Desktop tower) has a 1TB SATA HD which has been shared on the network for Everybody and permissions have been set for "FULL CONTROL" under the security tab in properties for the Drive. Please if anyone has the answer please share because I'm lost at this point.

By the way I have a net book as well running windows7 Ultimate Edition
and another Desktop PC running windows7 Ultimate Edition
Same problem with them too!

All my computers belong to the same workgroup and access internet and LAN is run through a Linksys wireless G router. The main desktop with the 1TB is wired to the router.

Last, all computers are assigned static IPs (this is for torrent applications and remote access)

A work around for moving files from one computer to another is to use either a CD/DVD or a Flash Drive.

Have you set up a Homegroup?

Yes I have set up HomeGroup, and I am really not looking to use DVD or Flashdrive.

Are you an Administrator? If not, are you sure that you have authority to create folders in the destination? (Can you locally drag files to that destination?)

I had a similar problem and it had to do with my 'network discovery' being turned off.

Have u tried that?
