I'm having problems sharing files between a Mac Studio Ultra and a Mac Mini. Both are running OS 15.1.1. When attempting to connect to a shared folder I get the message The operation can't be completed because the original item for "Downloads" (or other shared folders) can't be found. Google reveals this to be a common problem but I've not yet found a solution. Permissions are set for Read & Write for everyone on any shared folder. The Studio Ultra gets this error when I connect to the Mac Mini but the Mac Mini can't even see the Ultra on the network so maybe that has something to do with it? Can someone point me in the right direction to get sharing working? Thanks.

Newer webpage claiming to have a fix: https://iboysoft.com/howto/file-cant-be-opened-because-original-item-cant-be-found.html
I've never heard of this webpage before, so do your own research and precede with caution.
Thanks for your help. It looks like there are some good suggestions in both of those links so maybe I'll be able to dig out a solution from one of them. Thanks again.
