Mac OS X Catalina File Sharing Issue

Hav been using file sharing between my iMac and my MacBook Pro for years. Just upgraded to Catalina on both systems. I now have issues with file sharing. Specifically, I cannot access the items in the desktop folder on a remote mac via file sharing. Can access all other folders and all items in the folders on the via file sharing, but the desktop folder is problematic. Have tried specifically adding the desktop folder as a shared folder under file sharing and allowed read and write access to it. Still no joy. Everything looks good when I get info and ensured the sharing permission are applied to enclosed items int the folder. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
