How to setup a public shared folder???
How to setup a public shared folder???
- Hey guys, have a little problem, had to nuke my server last weekend. For some reason I can not access any folders I share across the network!
Basicly I have a Public folder sat on a secondary hard drive, within this folder there is client work, backups and accounts folders each also shared out.
If I try and access the public folder from network places on either my Vista machine or XP machine it says I do not have permission to access it even though the folder is shared so that everyone has fulll control of the folder.
The sub folders (client work, backups, etc) are setup with different permissions on them, everyone can read them except for the accounts folder as that requires a username and pass to access.
My question is how on earth do I fix this? I had it working great before I re-installed and now I cant seem to get it working at all!
I forgot to mention its in a work-group environment not domain- Edited byMatthew Bagley Friday, October 30, 2009 3:46 PMupdate

- By using the server manager I have managed to create a public shared folder that everyone can access, the next step was to setup several folders within this folder that have special permissions, for instance I need to create a folder that only administrators can access, when I try doing this it doesn't work everyone can access it! any ideas?
