How to I copy files across a Network using 10.9?

On earlier versions I could find another Mac on the network and log into it to enable me to see the file structure.  To copy files from one machine to another i just dragged a file or folder full of files from the folder on the source machine to a folder on the destination machine.  Since upgrading my machine to 10.9 I find that the files on the destination machine are all 'denied access'.  This was never an issue before.  Is this a bug or is there a setting somewhere set to a different default than before that I need to find and change?

When you select the destination Mac, do you still login with the user account that has Read/Write access?
Do the shared folders on the destination Mac have your user account included for Read/Write access?

  • Copying files across the network changes their permissions... Why?

    Okay, I have several Macs running Leopard 10.5.5. All of my users store their working files in their Shared folders so other people who log into their Mac have access to them so they can make corrections/changes etc.
    We also configure the Shared Folder to be shared under File Sharing --> Shared Folders pref pane. The permissions are set there for Everyone to have Read/Write. The problem occurs when a user connects via the network to another users' Mac Shared Folder and copies a file to their Mac. Once they copy the file the permissions change to Everyone Read Only.
    My question is why and can I keep the permissions intact?
    Thanks

    that's how it's supposed to work. a new file is created on the other computer and it acquires standard permissions for new files. this can not be changed.
    what you can do is make sure they always copy those files to a particular directory and put ACLs on that directory that give everyone read+write rights to everything in it. For example, make a folder inside /Users/Shared directory. call it, say "sharedstuff".
    then run the following terminal command
    chmod +a "everyone allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
    addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
    /Users/Shared/sharedstuff
    now everything you copy to that folder will be read+write by everyone even if you do this across a network.

  • Cannot copy files from my network using finder

    If I try to copy files from my NAS or my PC to my Macmini running Leopard, I cannot copy files that are larger than 64kb. Otherwise I get an error message. Interestingly, if I use the cp command in the console instead, he can copy the file, but the file is corrupt in the sense that it is smaller than the original and not working. Weirdest thing is that I can access the same files from itunes or iphoto or vlc or whatever. Any ideas?

    After the update I cannot connect to my router anymore

  • Why can't I copy a file across a network?

    I am having a very peculiar problem copying a simple text file across a network.  The problem occurs when I try to copy from a newly purchased and newly upgraded MacBook (13 inch aluminum 08) to a 2010 Mac mini.
    When I try to copy from the MacBook to the mini, Document folder to Document folder, I get this message:
        A new item named “filename” already exists in this location.  Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?
    If I click Replace, I get this message.
         The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “” already exists.
    If I click Keep Both, the process begins to create thousands (yes thousands!) of numbered copy files with the same file name and zero contents.
    Copying from the MacBook to a different Mac works normally.
    The problem, I suppose, stems from the fact that I migrated my user account from the Mac mini to the MacBook.  But, I’ve done that before without a problem, so what is happening?
    I also suppose that the solution is to delete the migrated user account on the MacBook and create a new one, but that’s a nuisance.
    Can anyone solve this puzzle?
    Thanks-
    Robin

    Sorry I couldn't help.  You mention copying a simple text file, then mention ~/Documents to ~/Documents, then finally mention migration assistant.
    It's honestly not too clear what you're tyring to accomplish.  Do you have mutliple user accounts now and you want to thin them down?  Do you simply want to get your Documents from the mini to the new computer?  I copy between Macs all the time (ML to Mavericks, Mavericks to Mavericks).  The worst thing I've faced is the need to reset home permissions and ACLs.
    Many of the guru's who frequent the Mavericks area also come here.  I'm sure one of them can help.  Good luck.

  • How to share files across my network from Belkin N

    I have a belkin N+ router that you cant plug a USB hard drive or a flash drive into to share the files across the network. It shows my router as a device on the network but gives me the same error message every time I try to acess them. How can I set this up from my Mac, what do I need to to do?

    I had the same problem. I was first getting an error on my PC about the library being created with a newer version of iTunes. I upgraded my PC to 8.1 and am now receiving the following error when trying to open up the shared library:
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13005)."

  • How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

    How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

    That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

    1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
    Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
    Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
    Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
    Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
    2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
    3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

  • How do I copy files from my old pc to my new imac?

    how do I copy files from my old pc to my new imac?

    There are many methods, however you are specific about the type of files you want to move. The first time your Mac turns on it begins with Setup Assistant and asks if you want to migrate from another Mac or PC, you must have missed that. I'd recommend looking over Pondini's Guide and following the directions for using Migration Assistant. You can find them by clicking How to Use Migration Assistant From PC to Mac 10.7 Lion.
    If you have specific files you are attempting to migrate then moving them to an external HD and then just dragging and dropping them from the EHD to the Mac would be very simple. Apple explains migration strategies in Switch 101

  • How do i copy files from my macbook pro to my hard drive? These files were previously started on my old dell.

    how do i copy files from my macbook pro to my hard drive? These files were previously started on my old dell.

    More then likely that external drive is formatted the Windows NTFS format which Mac OS X can Read but it can not Write to that format. So you would need to copy all the data off that drive, to either a Windows PC or to your Mac, thenn use the Mac to format it for the Mac OS. Which would be Mac Extended (Journaled) with a Partition Table of GUID.
    If you want to use that drive on both Mac and PC then you would need to format it either FAT32 or exFAT.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

  • How do I copy files from a seperate hard drive to Bridge

    How do I copy files from a seperate hard drive and paste them to Bridge

    Bridge is just a file Browser, nothing more and nothing less.  It doesn't create folders of its own and it doesn't keep image files in the application itself.
    You don't "paste" anything "into" Bridge.  You just navigate Bridge to the other drive where the images are, point it toward said files, and Bridge will show them to you.
    Once you find your files, you can use Bridge to move them or copy them to wherever you want.  They will never be "inside" Bridge.  As soon as you disconnect the other hard drive, Bridge will have no record of them unless you copy them over to a drive that is always attached to your computer, such as your boot drive or another internal drive.
    Recapping;  Your images are never in Bridge.

  • Cannot Copy Files over a network

    I've had a new hard drive installed in iMac by Apple, and Apple re-installed the OS, which is running 10.6.7 (all current software updates are installed). The iMac is part of a network connecting to a OS X Server 10.4.10
    All of the Network Drives have been connected, the user can copy documents under 1MB to and from the server fine. However if we try to copy files over 1MB the first file will copy fine, but then no more files can be copied to the server from this machine, regardless of the size.
    If i use another Mac, with the same user credentials I can copy files of any size without any issues. I have tried connecting to the Network using both the Ethernet port and Airport but I experience the same issue regardless.
    If I reboot the iMac I can copy a file over 1MB again and then the symptoms re-present themselves. I have tried creating a users, new network drives, folders etc. I can connect using any user, to any of the new folders from any other machine on the network but not from this one.
    When the copying fails Finder just hangs with
    Copying "" to "ShareName" rather than having the name of the file, I believe this may be where the error lies.
    I have also tried running the App Maintenance from Titanium Software, after running this i can copy files over the network fine, but after I have copied 10 or so files, the situation goes back to not copying files correctly. 
    Tags:

    I have tried several files and also I have copied the files on to a USB Hard Drive and then onto another machine, that machine was able to copy the files over the network.
    The Firewall is switched off on this Mac, I have tried various different options with the Firewall, Turning it off, ensuring the AFP connections are allowed.
    Also using the Maintenance app, that I mentioned clears the Caches, repairs permissions etc etc
