Task 2: Enabling File Sharing
In My Documents, right-click the folder you want to share on your network, and select Sharing and Security from the menu that appears.
The folder's Properties dialog box opens, with the Sharing tab displayed. Click to select the Share this folder on the network check box.
If you want users on other machines to be able to change the contents of this folder, click to select the Allow network users to change my files check box.
Click the OK button.
INTRODUCTIONBy default, certain folders are made available to all computers on your network. To make other folders on a computer available to other machines on your network, you must enable file sharing for those folders. |
