finder – Apple Distant Desktop – file copy points to distant exterior drives


I’ve not too long ago arrange a brand new file/film server on my TV with a brand new M4 Mini working Sequioa 15.7.3 & Thunderbay RAID array.
This replaces an earlier Mac Professional working Mojave – which had no points.
The brand new Mac is not a migrate, it is a clear setup, utilizing the identical admin particulars & iCloud.
The Mac I am controlling from can also be on Sequoia. ARD is updated on all Macs.

Beforehand, sending a file to a particular folder was only a case of opening up a connection in Management mode & dragging from my predominant Mac to any open window on the distant.
With the brand new setup any copy to not the primary admin person’s personal folders – Desktop, Paperwork and many others – fails, with out actually telling me why. I simply get ‘File switch failed’.
If I drop to the Desktop and many others then it is high quality, however I then should transfer the information over to their right vacation spot.

If I file copy vis SMB/Networking relatively than ARD then I can ship to the exterior drive immediately.

So far as I can inform, I’ve all permissions huge open (extra & extra as I attempt chase this down). I’m admin on each Macs, I’ve set permissions on the drive huge open, learn/write for all classes, additionally Ignore permissions. I’ve all talents set in ARD, Full Disk Entry is specified. All related (exterior) drives (from/to) are HFS+, however the person space is APFS. I even have Time Machine on separate partitions on this RAID, as APFS (if that could be related).
The RAID is managed by OWC’s SoftRAID (absolutely licensed) which reveals no errors.

I nonetheless can’t determine why I am unable to simply drag & drop to anyplace exterior the admin’s private person space.
