Linux PC desktop backup to Linux LAPTOP by running FFS on desktop:
Laptop is available on PC filemanager (having setup shares on laptop via samba and Nautilus).
But problem backing up some files (LuckyBackup) from PC to Laptop.
I think I fixed this in past by running FFS as admin,
so I can copy file permissions (via Tools>Options>tick copy file perms).
But now when I runas admin FFS on PC, laptop fails to show in FFS even tho shows in PC filemgr.
How can I fix runas admin to show laptop (as I think it used).
Note Runas regular user does show Lapop in FFS as it should,
but reports lots errors when backup.
runas admin fails show network laptop

On Windows, shares are per "user", so if I, as a "regular" user, therube, set up a share, if I then elevate, or log in as a different user (or Admin), my therube shares are not (by default) seen.
I don't know the Linux end, but maybe something similar is going on there?
