Q: File Sharing

After enabling file sharing when attempting to update a file, I get the message - 'you don't own the file and don't have permission to write to it, even though the user has read and write permission. How can this be fixed?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

    I need more details.

     

    - Where is the file?  (what folder/path)

    - WHO is trying to over-write it? (local user, network user)

    - If a network user, how are they accessing it? 

    - Highlight the fiile in Finder and press Command-I to get INFO on the file.  Look at the bottom to see what permissions are set to.
