I am running macOS Sierra 10.12.6 on my MacBook Air trying to move a directory/folder from my local disk to an external hard drive. But I get an error that says:
Modifying "Remote Disk" requires an administrator name and password
To move "
<your-folder>
", click Authenticate.
But I do not see any button or link labeled Authenticate. Also, I read here there might be a solution involving right-clicking the destination drive then selecting Get Info button. However, there is nothing there I can click.
So how can I move this folder to my external drive?
