    Usual trigger here involves file or directory protections that are blocking the requested access.

     

    There can be differences based on how the files are shared, too — AFP, SMB and NFS services have some details that differ....

     

    You can Get Info these settings via the GUI, or you can launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities, and navigate to the files directly.

     

    From the command line in Terminal.app, issue the following command for the files:

     

    ls -ale@  /path/to/shared/file

     

    for the directories

     

    ls -aled@  /path/to/directory/
