Note that you can only share files which are IN the folder named "Public".
Creating a folder named "Public" doesn't give you access to any files on the
disk except those that are in that folder.
Also note that you're not really sharing files between the two Macs. Public
Folder just allows one Mac to copy files from the hard disk on another Mac.
The end result is two different copies of the file (one on each Mac), and not
one file shared between two Macs.
