OK guys, I'm very new to VPN. I Setup the server and configured the client program with Connection Manager Administration Kit. I tried to connect to the VPN server and I succeded..
Now, the dummy question is coming.
How do I share any files at all ?
Thank you..
 
1. First you will need to have File and Printer sharing installed. This can be installed from the properties of the network connection.
2. Once that is installed, find the folder that you want to share, right click on the folder and then click on sharing.
3. On the properties window that opens, click on share this folder and give is a share name, the default is the same as the folder name. Then apply the settings.

That is the simple setup. You can later adjust the permissions to the folder, and if the drive is formatted in NTFS you can tighten security even more.
