Sharing problem on XP Pro

[1318]

Dear All,

I am trying to share a folder on my XP pro. (Working under workgroup) but I could not share only to specified user (there is no security permissions choice) so it is share for all computer in the workgroups.

Please help with this......

I dont understand how you DO have the option to share, but you don't have Permissions under the share tab.

Anyway, if you really dont, then put the security permissions in the folders general security > permissions section, add the machinename$ of the machines that you DO want to access your shared folder. All will see it, only specified machines can view it.

Hope this Helps.

Is the drive NTFS? Do you have "simple file sharing" turned on?

Take a look here:

To add - when simplified sharing is enabled (the default), no security tab is visible in normal mode to set filestore security, and the sharing option is to either share read only access or full access for everyone. If you disable simplified sharing, the security tab becomes available, and you can also set permissions on the share (these are both operational, so you need to ensure both set to what you want). Also, as its a workgroup, you will need to set up 'mirror' accounts (so, if User A on Machine A wants access to Share B on Machine B, Machine B must have a user set up with same username/password as User A on Machine A. Then you set permissions for this 'mirror' a/c on Machine B and they automatically apply to User A on Machine A too).
