File sharing stopped working after 13.7.5 update between 2 macs (both with 13.7.5).
Anyone with the same issue pls?
I am 100% sure it is the 13.7.5 fault, because it worked just before I ran the updates on both computers.
(Intel Macbook, I can't upgrade to macos 14)
Yes, I tried to disable file sharing, reset mac and enable it again :-)

Using finder click Go, then Connect to Server. Enter the following: smb://name of computer._smb._tcp.local/name of shared folder. Enter credentials of shared folder user and password and it worked. I don't know why, but this has been a real problem for the last 10 days. Hope this works for you too.
Thanks for the hint, this works for me to connect from an El Capitan MacBook Pro to a Ventura MacBook Air.
What's also odd with this bug:
In the file sharing info window in System Settings, the note "Other users can access shared folders on this computer, and administrators all volumes, at smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" displays a completely unrelated random IP address, not the standard 192.168.1.xxx from my LAN IP range.
Exactly same problem here. Very frustrating situation !

This solutions work fine for me, I hope Apple *** give an update to fix this bug is very useful to work via ethernet in projects, please Apple help
Interesting.
I have an old free developer account, but I don't see anything about 13.7.6 there. Only
"macOS 15.5 beta 3" released yesterday.

Hi. I'm having the same problem . Could you give this old luddite some idiot-proof simple steps on how to do what you suggest? Thank you!

To connect from iOS/iPadOS to Ventura 13.7.6 via VLC, the server path syntax must be apparently "computername/volumename" or "computername/sharename", without the ".local" bit.
Yes, it’s a small number of people that have a problem though that is no good for them.
Done 😊
Same problem, but again a big thanks to @rivmac for a workaround.
Has anybody noticed, that when SMB sharing is active between Ventura and Sonoma, the "Link the keyboard and mouse" function gets flimsy?
I wonder if anybody has had a response from Apple that IF they are ever going to fix this?
Spoke too soon. The "fix" failed on the first restart.
