I am trying to move files from one machine to another
across a home network, but the system won't let me copy
files into a folder because it is marked "read-only". When
I share a folder the the "read-only" checkbox is marked
with a gray checkbox by default. When I uncheck it and
click "Apply" everything seems fine - but when I come back
and look again a moment later the gray checkmark is back.
Something is resetting this permission! what's going on
here?

You need to enable "Allow network users to change files" in Sharing and
Security for the folder you want to write to.
