Possible to set share permissions on a file server in a small office?

[djs1w]

I've got a situation where an office has 7 or 8 users who all connect to (1) server who's sole purpose is file & print. It's recently come up that Person A doesn't want Person B to be able to look at their files. So I started fooling around with the permissions on the shares. Since they already had an account on the server, I clicked the permissions of their home directory and gave them the only rights.

Now I tried remapping from their computer but got access denied. The account name with the share permissions is \server\PersonA but I'm connecting from \computer\PersonA, thus the access denied. So, is there a way to setup the permissions?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm assuming we are talking Windows 2000 or NT.

One way would be to explicitly set the permissions on each users' home directory for "Everyone" to none, then explicitly add the desired permissions for the individual user "username" as needed (probably "full control").

The only permissions you'd need to show on each user's home directory are for "Everyone" and "username". Also make sure "username" users are not part of the administrator group on the server.

Hope this helps.

Right click the file/folder click on sharing and enable it, then under permissions make sure everyone w/full access is selected, click ok. Next right click the file/file folder and go to properties. Click on the security tab, add administrators and the username of the person whose file/folder it is and make sure both have full access.
