I'm trying to Mirror some "Program Files" folders from one PC to another (Win10 -> Win8.1).
I'm signed in as an admin user on both PCs. A Homegroup is set up, I can manually browse or change Program Files on the other PC in Explorer (including writing files & creating subdirs).
But FFS can't:
- in non-admin mode, it gets file access errors (Code 5), eg. creating subdirectories.
- in admin mode, it asks me for my Network Credentials (user/pass) to access the other PC path at all. Why, when I can access them manually without credentials?
Note I'm using \\[pc name]\ type patths, so I don't have to map network drives (the other PC is rarely connected). Is that the problem?

Because an account must be provided, either implicitely or explicitely:
- create an account with same name and password on both machine, give them the permissions needed and use it to login (implicit)
- map the remote destination with a remote user/password, you can use just "net use \\remotepc\remoteshare /user:username password" without a disk letter name (explicit).
Give it a try (never used Win8/10, but on Seven it's like that)
