Hi Peter,

The ethernet-over-powerline adapters have to allow data/file transfer, that's what they do, they simply stream the data over the network.

Cable ethernet, wi-fi and the ethernet-over-powerline adapters all do exactly the same thing. Just different methods.

The issue I think, is the operating system and security as to why you can't transfer files.

You need to have the same user accounts on all machines, and that same account also needs the same password on all machines. Once that is done, then setup sharing and all should work fine.

Cheers,

Damien.
