I have successfully shared a directory from a Mac to a Windows 7 machine on the same WORKGROUP, but from the Windows machine, I do not have write access. All permissions appear to be set correctly.<br />
<br />
- The Mac is using a netBIOS compliant name, and has been added to WORKGROUP.<br />
- SMB file sharing has been enabled on the Mac for the Public Folder directory.<br />
- Permissions for Everyone are set to Read&amp;Write.<br />
- I have applied the permissions to all enclosed items.<br />
- I can browse \\GM-IMAC from Windows 7, and I can open the files.<br />
- I cannot save changes as I receive an &quot;Access Denied&quot; notice.<br />
<br />
Thoughts:<br />
<br />
- Do I need to turn User Account Sharing on in the Sharing preferences and create a sharing user account to match the Windows login?<br />
- Would Windows 7 be having issues writing to a shared HFS+ volume?

No write access to shared Mac directory from Windows 7

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.

Apple devices including Macs, iPhones, iPods and iPad support standard wired and wireless networking technologies, but they also utilize custom applications and some special techniques for networking with each other and with non-Apple devices. Apple manufacturers the AirPort line of wireless networking products, and has its own networking protocols, AppleTalk and AFP (Apple Filing Protocol).
