Say I have mounted a sharepoint on /Volumes/Staff/
.
I find that I cannot copy files from /Volumes/Staff/Folder1
to /Volumes/Staff/Folder2
and vice versa. I get the following error:
Can't connect to the server because the name or password is incorrect.
The server is a Mac Mini running Yosemite with file server configured with Server.app.
Desktops are iMacs running El Capitan. They all connect via SMB by default when clicking on the Mac Mini icon on the sidebar.
I can replicate this problem on my MacBook Pro running El Capitan. I am connecting via afp://myserveraddress
and smb://myserveraddress
in Finder.app via "Connect to Server" menu.
I find that on my MacBook, copying and pasting files works while I am connected via AFP but not while I am connected via SMB.
But I cannot simply turn off SMB on the server, we also have Windows and Linux desktops that needs to connect to the server too.
What do I have to do so that Macs can connect to the server via SMB as a majority of the users would only be able to connect by clicking on the Mac Mini icon in finder rather than going through "Connect to Server" like me.
