Creating shared folders When a user on the network wishes to access a file on another system, he must connect to a share on that system. Sharing a folder in Windows To share a folder on a Windows network, simply right-click the folder you wish to share and choose the Sharing command. The options are listed below: Share name: You need to give the share a name. This is the name that will be referred to by users who want to connect to the share.
Comment: This is an optional description of the share that displays in Windows when the user views the list of shares in Detail view. User limit: You may limit how many users can connect to the share at any given time. This could be useful if you notice that the system is slow after a certain number of users connect.
In this example, you may want to set the user limit to five. Setting the user limit to maximum allowed will configure the user limit for 10 users connected to the share at once because the Windows desktop operating systems can only allow 10 connections at a time. Permissions: Clicking the Permissions button allows you to set permissions on the share.
You set permissions to control which users can modify data in the share and which ones can simply read information in the share.
Caching: This feature allows the client to store a local copy of data accessed in the share. This could be useful if you wish to allow a laptop user to take a copy of the data home and update the data. The modified data could then be synchronized with the content on the server when the user returns to the office. The following steps show you how to adjust these permissions to your liking: To remove the Everyone group from the permissions list, click the Remove button.
