Restricting access to shared folders?

[fisheye]

Here's a fairly simple question -
I have a small home network here, with 5 PCs on it. I want to share files with only one pc - the rest should not be able to see or access the shared folders. I assume there's a way to do this - running XP Pro sp1 - but I don't know how and would really like to know what I'm doing before messing around with settings

Hi,

Presuming your filesystem is NTFS (it probably is and almost surely should be if it isn't) - you need to play with share and NTFS permissions to control how users can access shared folders.

http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_filesharing/07ntfs-permisions.htm

is a quick google find looking at NTFS permissions. There are links of that page to other aspects of controling how resources are shared.

Good luck,

Andy
