I want to use file_copy to copy a file from Drupal public directory to a shared folder of another

computer on the same network. I can access the shared folder by Finder (Drupal is installed on

MAMP) but coping files in that directory gives me the same error:

The specified file public://file.pdf could not be copied, because the destination directory is not properly configured. This may be caused by a problem with file or directory permissions. More information is available in the system log.

The shared folder is totally writable. I tryed putting an alias on httpd.conf but no luck Could it be an apache permission problem? Or can I solve the problem within Drupal?

Thanks a lot

Go to the MAMP console under "General" tab, go to the setting for "Run Apache/MySQL server as user".

It should be setting to www (Apache) / mysql (MySQL). So you need to change it to username (Apache) / username (MySQL).

Save and restart the servers

Refresh the browser, then change it back to www (Apache) / mysql (MySQL), save and restart, and everything should be working
