Q: Issue sharing files between two 10.9 Macs

I've just upgraded 2 of my Macs to 10.9, enabled Screen Sharing and File Sharing on both.

 

I'm able to screen share but I'm not able to connect to share files.  I've tried Registered User and Apple ID but the log in box just shakes.  I've used file sharing between these Macs for many years so I (should) know what I'm doing

 

Anyone else had any issues?

 

Thanks in advance,
Colin

OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    Temporarily I've disabled SMB sharing on both machines and it seems to be working.

    I have one older imac that I use as a media server / file server for the house.  After I installed 10.9 I could no longer connect as guest to the imac from a 10.9 macbook.  I could log in using credentials on the imac.

     

    Here is the error I was getting in the syslog when trying to connect via the guest account:

     

    Nov  9 09:45:00 TARDIS.local digest-service[1278]: digest-request: uid=0

    Nov  9 09:45:00 TARDIS.local digest-service[1278]: digest-request: od failed with 2 proto=ntlmv2

    Nov  9 09:45:00 TARDIS.local digest-service[1278]: digest-request: user=\GUEST

    Nov  9 09:45:00 TARDIS.local digest-service[1278]: digest-request: kdc failed with 36150275 proto=unknown

    Nov  9 09:45:00 TARDIS.local digest-service[1278]: digest-request guest: ok user=TARDIS\GUEST proto=ntlmv2 flags: NEG_KEYEX, ENC_128, NEG_VERSION, NEG_TARGET_INFO, NEG_NTLM2, NEG_NTLM, NEG_TARGET, NEG_UNICODE

    Nov  9 09:45:32 TARDIS.local smbd[1288]: XPC: peer event: , ipc error: Connection invalid

     

    Just like cbradburne, for me unchecking the SMB option in the share properties allowed everyone (10.9 & 10.8) to connect as a guest.  I have one win7 box that I'm sure no longer has access, but that one isn't used often.

     

    Anyone have any ideas on the smb issue?

     

    Thanks

    I've been having the same issue. After reading this post I switched enabled SMB on the machine I was trying to connect to, which did not seem to help. I then turned SMB off, leaving just AFP enabled on both machines, and my next attempt to connect worked.

    I had exactly the same issue as you. And your solution (switching of SMB support) worked for me as well.

    Must be a bug. Still there in 10.9.1.

    Had the same problem. Try this:

     

    1. Uncheck SMB in Sharing.
    2. Go to User & Groups, select Guest User, and uncheck everything.
    3. Go back to Sharing, and re-check SMB.
    4. Go back to Users & Groups, select Guest User, and re-check "Allow guests to connect to shared folders".

     

    Try connecting to the server again. Should be good!

    Your solution worked perfectly.  Have you had any instances of the problem returning?

     

     

    Thanks

    It's too early to tell, but so far so good.

     

    Using Bonjour Browser, you can see all the corrected nodes now advertise Samba. You can also see it's working by clicking Options in File Sharing. "Number of users connected:" should be more than 0, while AFP will still be 0.

     

    This was also interesting:

    SMB is the default file sharing protocol for Mavericks.
