Hello there,

I am trying to share a couple of directories through Nautilus that my
fiance needs.  However, when I share them it tells me that I don't have
permission to share them.  Here is what I do.

1.  I go to the Places menu and click on computer.

2.  I go to File System.

3.  I then go down to File System.

4.  I then go to the Home folder and click on Scott.

5. I then click on Documents and then highlight the folder click on the
Sharing when I hit the context menu key on a Windows keyboard and go
down to Sharing Options.

6. then I click on the checkbox for Sharing and then I click on the
checkbox that allows things to be modified.

At this point is when I get that I don't have the proper permissions.

I also did a Properties on this and it says it's unreadable at the
moment.  I check for NTFS3G and it's there.  Is there anything else I
can do?
