Hi, All.

Have been having issues with a small network of one Mac and 5 PCs.

MAC is 10.6.8; PCs include Windows Vista and 7.

The problem is that from the PCs you can open and modify a file from the MAC, but you cannot save the file to the MAC; permission not granted.

No problems opening files on the MAC from the PCs and saving back to the PCs.

File Sharing is turned ON.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Can you read write to the public folder on the Mac?

If you're not using the public folder you need to specify a user with read write permission in System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing
