Require permission from computer administrator error

A new day - a new problem:

Having a problem with permissions in Windows 8.
I keep getting a blocking error message when I try to copy files onto
this W8 machine.

For example:

I downloaded the free Macrium/Reflect install program on my XP
machine, and saved it as well as the shortcut to the web site from
which I downloaded it in my wide-open data folder on that machine.
Then I tried to copy both from that machine to the LAN-connected W8
machine. I get the error message (for both copies):

File Access Denied
You need permission to perform this action
You require permission from the computer's administrator to make
changes to this file

SKIP TRY AGAIN


I have seen the same error repeatedly for other file moves onto the W8
machine, and so I was not surprised. But I cannot figure out what to
change to eliminate the error. I have changed W8 User Account Control
to accept everything, but that did no good.

Interestingly, I tried the same copying to another machine on my LAN,
this time another XP machine. The files transferred flawlessly. Then
I found I could copy those files from that XP machine to the W8
machine too - this time without encountering the cited error message.

I have tried some of the Google-provided suggestions, but so far no
success there either.

So, does this make sense? I do not get this error for many other
similar folder/file copies, so the blocking seems not consistent.
I should add that permissions for the target folder are 'everyone'.

Thanks

Have you set up sharing?

I often copy to a shared folder, usually Public something, and then move
it when I'm on the other machine.

Oh yeh. Seems fine all directions.
