Take a deep breath and tell us your problem again. Start by telling us what server, and what applications you wish to run. <p>The Geek<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Dont be afraid to share what you know.

Thanks MrGeek,<br>they installed a proxy server for me, for internet purposes it is wingate standard.&nbsp;&nbsp;I know nothingh about microsoft products, i am in the Solaris and unix field.&nbsp;&nbsp;I noticed that the server is only used to that purpose, as a proxy.&nbsp;&nbsp;I&nbsp;&nbsp;was asking how to make a directory that contains anydata be accessesed from users that i select. that's most of it. thanks alot for your care.<br><br>Best Reagrds<br>&nbsp;

Ahh are we talking shares? For example,<br><br>You have 3 files called x, y, z.<br><br>You make a folder called share<br><br>You place x, y, z in the folder called share.<br><br>You want mary, john, tom to have access to these files?<br><br>If this is the scenario, let me know <p>The Geek<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Dont be afraid to share what you know.

Hehe cool, Linux (Unix) is not that different.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact unless you are using command line, the GUI share and permissions are much the same. Ok here goes.<br><br>1. Make a folder<br>2. Place your files in the folder<br>3. Right click the folder and go to properties.<br>4. Share the folder (now you have two choices, either leave the default group everyone intact with full control and then assign permissions at the folder level, or remove everyone and add only the users or groups)<br><br>5. Using either the everyone group or selected users, add them to the folder. Remember one is for share access and the other is what they can do when they have access <br><br>6. Go get Mark Minasi book called &quot;Mastering Windows NT Server 4.0&quot;<br><br>If I need to be more specific let me know <p>The Geek<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>Dont be afraid to share what you know.
