How do you get a prompt for network access?

[Sciuriware]

I got 2 identical machines running Sonoma, connecting by remote mount by SMB.
One can mount a share on the other, the other can't.
Even worse: on 'the other', we have 2 accounts; 'her' account got a prompt in Terminal, allowed and it worked.
'his' account never got that prompt and can still not access the remote mount.
In System Settings there is nothing that might lead to allowing that access.
Anyone?
;JOOP!

Interesting, but I had sharing running for many years.
Sonoma introduced the fact that file sharing does not 'survive' a reboot; but that's a matter of switching off and on.
The new computer has the access problem (for one user only, or so it seems).

There is also the sharing command https://ss64.com/mac/sharing.html
Run sharing to see the options available.

Please note that I got file sharing running; I just can not get access to the sharing point.
Btw.: finder can, but that does not help my applications.

Give your applications Full Disk Access.

Give your applications Full Disk Access.

That's tricky and weird: I have no full disk access on any machine and on any account.
;JOOP!

Indeed, that works, but it is a kludgy solution; for the (short) time being I can live with that.
Thanks anyway.

Still, I hope that someone will come along with a permanent, safe solution.
My times as intermittent superuser are long, long ago ....

The app should request permission to access the share.
"User prompted by app - Files and folders
Note: Includes Desktop, Documents, Downloads, network volumes and removable volumes"

Well .... the app is Terminal.app and it does not prompt at all (for network access in my own account).
And, there is no entry in Systems Settings for network access (like it used to be).
I still wonder how the user of that other account (yes, my wife) got a prompt [allow / deny].

You could remove Terminal from Full Disk Access and see if it still can access the share. If it does, that might have happened on the other account.

All TCC permissions for Terminal can be reset with:

tccutil reset All com.apple.Terminal

After that, ls ~/Desktop should ask for permission to access the Desktop folder, and so on.

Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow: gonna sleep now.

Thanks a lot, that was the perfect answer!
I do hope others will take notice of this matter.
