How do I authenticate my external hard drive?

0
0

macOS Sierra 10.12.6 (MacBook Air)

I am 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?
