How do i share folders

i have 2 computer linked with a router. the first computer, computer A is a desktop, it is running windows xp SP2 media center edition. and the second one, computer b is a laptop, it is windows xp SP2 home edition.
i want to share a folder between the two, how would i accomplish this

That's file and printer sharing... run the network set-up wizard (can be found at control panel, network connections) on both computers and you should be good to go... just make sure all computers firewalls are either set to disabled or it is set to allow sharing...

  • How do I share folders to other people using iCloud Drive?

    I would like to replace DropBox. How do I share a link to folders in iCloud Drive to other people? Does it have this capability?

    I have been trying to find an answer for this too, as a dropbox user for many years I was hoping that iCloud drive could be a replacement, but it looks like it falls way way short in comparison to dropbox for sharing folders with family or work project folders with peer workers, as it basically does not have the scope to do it!!!
    iCloud drive looks to only be for personal usage.
    AND THATS A BAD APPLE !

  • HT2512 how do I "share"folders on a network? or even setup a networks in windows

    In windows I coulf right click a folder and share via other coms in home network. How to I do this on mac.
    Many thanks

    Open System Preferences (lit's ike Control Panel in Windows)-> Shraring pane, put a checkmark in 'File Sharing' and then in the right of the sharing pane click on + button and then add any folder you want.
    System Preferences is where you find a lot of settings that affect the whole OS X system, just like the windows Control Panel.
    Lastly read the blog posts Lion File Sharing With Win 7 - Overview & Share Windows 7 Files with OS X Lion .

  • How do I share folders between 2 MacBook Pro?

    I'm trying to connect two MacBook Pro by creating a share folder. Don't know how. I try airdrop but this is only to send files from one to another

    Do you want to share the files locally (on the same network) or in the cloud?
    Your best option for cloud sharing is probablly a third party app like Google Drive, Dropbox, Box or Copy. These all have an OSX app that will keep a deisgnated folder/s synced across devices (if you install and set up the app on each device).

  • How can i share folders at Mac mini late 2009 with Apple Tv 3?

    I'm using Mac mini 2009 and I can't share any folder with Apple tv 3...anyone managed to get a way to do so, so far?

    I have a WLAN at home conneting Mac mini (late 2009), PS3 slim and xbox 360 in the living room and I would love to share whats on the Mac mini with AT3 in the guest room upstairs, physically it wont be possible to control both screens at the same times. The files I have are on external HD connected via firewire + USB to Mac mini and they are a mix of avi, mp4, mpeg etc. I'm talking about 3 TB of movies and series (its still legal here in Dubai to download ;-)). starting to convert such amount of files its not an option. AirParrot is a good option when I have media stored on my MacBook pro and would like to play it no AT3 but I used Beamer it works great for such function.
    any ideas folks ?

  • How can I share folders between 2 User Accounts?

    I have 2 accounts. One for work and one for home. The home account is the main one as I keep my work one (DJ use) very limited concerning activities running. I still need to access some folders that are on the home account (pics, music..etc.) but I see a little red negative sign (protected). I know its a simple little thing im over looking but cannot think of it.
    Also, when I use fast user switching is the other account still running and using resources?
    Thanks!

    Log in from the home account, select the folders you're trying to access in the Finder, and change all three of the permission settings to Read & Write; if both accounts are admin accounts, you can optionally change the first two to Read & Write and the group to admin. A new group can be created in the NetInfo Manager in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder if you want another set of accounts to access the folder; to do this, duplicate an existing group, pick an unique name for the new group, and change its gid to 400 or another unique number in the 400-499 range.
    The processes and applications opened under another user account continue to run when Fast User Switching is used to switch out of it.

  • How do i share folders on devices

    I have a folder on my macbook and was wondering how i can see that folder on my iMac and/or iPhone/ipad? 

    You can't do that. You need to post them on a website where others can access them. You can export the folder to your computre to post them.

  • How to securely share Folders with different People inside one Network

    Hey there,
    I'm working with different people on different projects. All are connected to the same network. Most users have 10.6, some 10.5. I'm providing them with Files. My idea is to setup Folders inside my public folder for each of them to pick their files up. But it is important that only the appropriate person has access to his Folder. Is there a way to set this up easy?

    Click on the Folder in question. Go the word File in the top right-hand corner. Click on More Info. Then at the bottom you can set the access for individual users, i.e. read and write access, no access, read access, etc. That way you can limit if people can even get to those folders and who can. Also you want to be sure you hit the little cog symbol when your done managing the permissions and hit "Apply to Enclosed folders" that way everything in that folder is guarenteed to have those permission limitations.

  • How to alow non-default domain users to set share folders.

    From Messanger Express, users who are in non-default domains cannot set any share folders, and only get an error message "You do not have permission for setting permission". However, Users in default domain can do it without any problem in same server[iMs5.2].
    Is there any specific permission to allow non-default domain users to do it ?
    If yes, how to give this permission to these users ?
    Thanks & regards,
    Takuto

    In deed it is fix in the GA.Another way to set the alias table is to do it in the Admin client. If you add a connexion to a user there is a new 6.5 button "set alias" that allow you to set the default alias table for this specific user. But, it does not exit on a user group level.

  • How to share folders in remote pcs using labview

    how to share folders remotely using labview?
    If there is any connection problem, how to read the file continuosly till there is a signal and get the data?

    You could just use Copy File.  It would be a lot simpler than reading the file and appending to your second file every second.

  • How do I share files on iCloud between different apps?

    Hi,
    how do I share files on iCloud between different apps?
    I would like to edit simple plain text files on my Mac and my iPad using different apps. They don't see the content of each other. How do I fix this?
    example:
    when I create a .txt files:
    Byword on Mac syncs nicely with Byword on iOS.
    Ulysses 3 on Mac syncs nicely with Daedalus Touch.
    BUT, cross-sync is not possible.... :/
    How can I change this? - I would like to work with Byword on my Mac and Daedalus on the go.
    Thanks in advance!

    Cross-sync only works if an app on the iDevice allows it.  For example, some apps (editors) sync with Dropbox (icloud usually isn't the thing to use) but only in their own folders. 
    If you save a file from the mac to it's own folder, A, on dropbox and on the device you use a different app that uses its own folder, B, then you won't be able to reach folder A on the device. 
    One thing to look for in editors that support Dropbox (most do, on a device - clearly all do on a mac) is whether they access dropbox using the root folder.  From there you can drop down to any subfolder and reach the files you want.

  • How do I share my videos/pictures on icloud with other users?

    We have taken videos of Christmas using our iPad.  We have uploaded them to iCloud.  How can we share these videos with our family in other parts of the country?

    Hi... and thanx for your help...
    I did not think that I would have to mess with my firewall, as long as I am talking of useres on the same computer, but I guess I was wrong.
    Your advice helps very much, but only as long as I am still logged in with my user name. I does not work when only my kids are logged in. There has to be a way to use these libraries without the need to log in the user that has created those folders...
    Hmmm
    Thanx for your help

  • How do I share music between libraries?

    I looked this up and all I could find was how to move the music from one folder to another in the same computer. It never finished to tell me how to actually share a few songs from one library to another (I read it over and over thinking I was missing something).
    By sheer luck (and following instructions I can no longer find), I was able to export a few songs from Library 1 (my Ipod) to Library 2 (my daughter's Ipod) about 3 months ago. Now when I try it sends my whole library into my daughter's Itunes library (viewing it on Itunes), instead of just a few she'd like. On top of that, Itunes will create multiple folders in the left side bar (many are duplicates).
    What do I need to change? I just want to share a song with her once in a while without a huge hassle and searching for help each time.

    This article has the directions:

    +Click Open.+
    +Repeat these steps for each account that is listening to shared music.+
    +When another user of the computer has imported new music from CD, repeat steps 6 through 8 to add the music to your library.+

    Currently you cannot share a folder, only individual files. Sharing of folders is a feature that is coming in the future.
