Strange - this sounds as though those files are owned by somebody else. Are you the only user on this computer & are these files created by you? Make sure you want to be sharing something if you don't have access to it! Either way, the simply way around this is to change the file permissions as super-user. If you're wanting to do this in the GUI / Nautilus hit Alt-F2 and then type: gksudo nautilus Browse to the folders with the window that appears & then change the permissions that way. It's worth saying - if these files should be yours, you may want to change the "user" listed here to your own username. That way you'll be able to edit/change them in future. >From the command line you could do as Leon suggested. cd your/shared_directory sudo chmod 644 * Hope that helps, Martin -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
