Shared folder password?
543948
You are being asked a password because either you are trying to access the folder through an account which does not have permission to access the particular folder or the account has a password different to the one on the other computer.i.e, you must have an account with same passwords on both computers and the account must have permissions to access the folder.

Hello,\n\nI believe you must be using different  user for different computer if that is the case right click on the shared folder and select properties  select sharing tab click permission and click  add and now select user name which you want give permission to.  by default everyone will have read permission if you don't want this select this and click remove.\n\nIf you use same user name for all user then try this\n\nfollow this same step and when you click add to add user's there select object type there select computer and click on advance select find now and now select the computer you want and click add give permission

There is an account called IUSR_[YOURSERVERNAME]. Ensure that has read access to any folders you set up on the webserver.

No, you cannot restrict access to the Shared Documents folder and you cannot restrict access to a hard drive either. You can encrypt the files in the Shared Documents folder and on the hard drive which would require a password to be entered to access the encrypted files. A good free encryption program is TrueCrypt (downloadable from pcworld.com)

On the "sharing" tab of the folder's properties sheet, when you type in a share name make sure to add a dollar sign ($) at the end. Eg: share1$. This will make the folder invisible to all other network users.\n   \n On the permissions tab, make sure you have only "Administrator" and/or the user account with which you will be accessing the folder. Never include a user account which exists on other network computers.\n\nYou can access this folder by either mapping to this folder on a machine to which only you have access or use the Start > Run and type in the path using the format:  &#92;&#92;computername&#92;sharename (Don't forget to add the dollar symbol." sharename$ ")

I'd like something like that too, but I settle for AxCrypt (website below) - which is free, but encypts only FILES - not folders.\n\nWith it you can easily "encrypt" a bunch of files with a password, so noone can see anything (apart from the filenames) - then easily UNEncrypt them when u want.

What is happening, is when you try to access the files on a remote computer, the remote computer needs to authenticate you to make sure you are supposed to have access to it.  If it can't verify access, it prompts you with a security dialog.\n\nThe easiest way to handle it is to create user accounts on BOTH the PC and the laptop with the exact same user name and password. (Yes, you have to use a password. No password will not work)  Then, use the same login username and password to log onto both PC's. As long as that user name and password has admin rights on both PC's, it will no longer prompt you for authentication.\n\nExample: Create a user on the desktop with username "Bill" and password "password". Give it admin rights. Do the same thing on the laptop. Log onto both as "Bill" and "password" and you will see you can access both PC's from both.\n\nThe only other way to do it would be to set the security on the share and give the user "everyone" full access. But, I would not recommend this because it will give everyone access to your files.

You know what!? I've had some pictures in a folder I din't want to share, and I tried puting a password to it. You right click on the folder and ther eis an option that says security, but you have to give other people a different password to the whole computer to make it work! I think this may be an XP problem, but someone else may know more...\n\n\nGood luck\nJohn

If they are logged on to your account, they have your settings, so they have access to your files.  That being said, yes, it can be done, but it would take third party software, like http://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/?id=gi\n\nPlease note, this is not an endorsement as I have never used this program, nor is it the only one available.

With the added security, you might have to ADD the other computer's Username and Password to that computer.  Then go into that folder's PROPERTIES and add the User's Permissions. \n\nYes, all accounts should have a username and password combination.  Try to keep your network sharing password protected against hackers that find your computer on the internet. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!
