Hi I have Remote Management and File sharing enabled on my Mac Mini. When I try to access the Mac Mini using Screen Share it works. When I try to see the directory using File Sharing the error says "Access to your account on the server "xxxxx" has been denied. I have checked that account name and password is the same as the user account on the Mac Mini. I don't understand why it lets me Screen Share but does not let File Share.
Regards
Brian
Go to
System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing
By default only users' Public Folders will be shared. If you want, for example to share a user's whole home directory you have to click the + button, add it and then set the Users: permissions. Be careful here, by default 'Everyone' has read access to shared folders, which I think includes the guest account if you are incautious enough to have one.

This is what I get.

1. If you haven't restarted the server since you first noticed the problem, please do that and test.
2. Are there any characters in the password, the server name, or the name of the shared folder other than plain letters and digits?
3. Are you trying to connect with an Apple ID, rather than the name and password of a user on the server? Select the server in the sidebar of a Finder window (under Shared), then click
Connect As...
and enter the credentials of the user who owns the shared folder.
If the connection still fails, and you're sure the password is correct, click
Change Password...
in the dialog and re-enter the same password.
4. Is the firewall enabled on the server, or is any third-party firewall or "security" software installed?
If none the above applies, select the log
/Library/Logs/AppleFileService/AppleFileServiceError.log
in a Console window on the server and post the messages (if any) that appear when you try to connect.
None of the above is working . Plus I can't find AppleFileService log.😢 Not having much luck.
You would find it in the sidebar of a Console window open on the server—not the client.

What version of Server are you running, and is this a network account on the client?
I thought I disabled the server. I don't want it to run. I am better off putting this in the bin.
You have created three network accounts. If you delete Server, you'll lose access to those accounts. You would first have to back up the files, then restore them to a new local account on each client and change the ownership.
I have put the server App in the trash. I don't want to use it for now.
File sharing not working
