Error Copying Files

I am trying to copy some mp3s from one XP machine to another XP machine through a wired LAN. When I attempt it, I get a message: "Error Copying Files or Folders: Cannot copy <filename>: Access is denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use."

I have tried to remove the Read-Only attribute for the Properties of the folder (My Music), only to have it return as a green box when I open Properties for the folder again. I can move the files around at will within one computer, just not across the network.

Thank you for your help.

Might want to check the permissions on the destination drive.
