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

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

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

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.

SMB is the default file sharing protocol for Mavericks.
