Mac 9.2.2 file sharing problems

I am trying to download MP3s using eMusic's Download Manager software. Each file will complete but then list "ERROR" as its status. I know that there is an issue with the software - when it is installed the folder it creates on the desktop to download the MP3s to is read only.

In OS X you can just control click and change the folder permissions but how do you change the folder status in Mac 9.2.2? Thanks for your help.
 
Yes "File Sharing" is enabled.

I know that in OS X this particular program creates a download folder that is "read only". This causes problems when the program tries to write files to the disc.

I believe there is a similar situation going on here in 9.2. I just don't know where to access the options for changing the read/write options of a folder in this version, or if that is even possible.
 
If you're on a 9-only machine, you might consider rewinding
to 9.1, since 9.2 isn't actually an upgrade. It did, in fact kill
appletalk and file sharing on my old Wallstreet PB.
 
Ok, I figured it out. Wan't a file sharing issue, that appears to only be a problem with OS X.

The problem is that the MP3s have long file names and it is causing the download manager to error when saving the file to disc.

Isn't there some way to enable long file names in OS 9?
 
no, i think os 9 is still stuck with the 32 char limit. gotta goto os x to get more.
so why have you not made the switch? i did on my 8600.
