Simple File Sharing in Windows XP
The simple file sharing that is automatically turned on in XP is
causing some problems with programs we run. An administrator can turn
it off, but as soon as any user logs onto the machine, the setting in
re-enabled. It would seem that the novell client or more likely Group
Policies set through the Workstation manager is turning it back on but
we cannot find where to change the setting. What can we do to turn
simple file sharing off and have it stay off for all users.
Thanks

It looks like we had that setting correct the whole time except the
Security Setting check box was not checked. We're getting close! For
administrators it works great, simple file sharing is turned off when
they logon. However, the power users are still not able to change this
setting I think because of security access (when they logon the setting
never changes but the same change was made in thier policy package as
the admin package).
I thought maybe I could add the power users to another group to grant
them access to change that setting, but I don't want to give them
access they don't need. I saw that in C1 you can create custom groups
though dynamic local users. I went to add privileges to a custom
group, but there are no descriptions of what each privilege actually
gives the user. I could not find an explaination on novell's website
or in the help file. This may not work at all but right now I'm in a
trial and error situation. If anyone knows what privilege to add or
where to find descriptions of them, please let me know.
Or if you happen to know another reason why administrators might work
and power users don't, please let me know that also.
Thanks

File Sharing between Windows PC and MacBook Pro using Internet Sharing
I have a MacBook Pro and a Dell Latitude D820 running Windows XP SP2 and I want to connect both using any of these two options. I do not have a wireless router and I use Sprint 3G data card to access internet.
1) I access the internet using a EVDO data card on my MAC and use Internet sharing to access the internet on my Dell laptop. How do I access the files on my PC from my MAC?
2) I can have two EVDO data cards to access the MAC and PC independently. How can I setup file sharing between Windows laptop and MAC?Hi Dr. Poultry-

Need help with simple file sharing application
I have an assignment to build a Java File Sharing application. Since I'm relatively new to programming, this is not gonna be an easy task for me.
Therefore I was wondering if there are people willing to help me in the next few days. I will ask questions in this thread, there will be loads of them.
I already have something done but I'm not nearly halfway finished.
Is there a code example of a simple file sharing application somewhere? I didn't manage to find it.
More-less, this is what it needs to contain:
-client/server communication (almost over)
-file sending (upload, download)
-file search function (almost over)
-GUI of an application.
GUI is something I will do at the end, hopefully.
I hope someone will help me. Cheers
One more thing, I'm not asking for anyone to do my homework. I will only be needing some help in the various steps of building an application.
As I said code examples are most welcome.
This is what I have done so far
Server:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MultiServer {
public static ServerSocket serverskiSoket;
public static int PORT = 1233;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
try {
serverskiSoket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
}catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Connection impossible");
System.exit(1);
do {
Socket client = serverskiSoket.accept();
System.out.println("accepted");
ClientHandler handler = new ClientHandler(client);
handler.start();
} while(true);
}Client:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MultiClient {
public static InetAddress host;
public static int PORT = 1233;
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
host = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
}catch (UnknownHostException uhe) {
System.out.println("Error!");
System.exit(1);
sendMessages();
private static void sendMessages() {
Socket soket = null;
try {
soket = new Socket(host, PORT);
Scanner networkInput = new Scanner(soket.getInputStream());
PrintWriter networkOutput = new PrintWriter(soket.getOutputStream(), true);
Scanner unos = new Scanner(System.in);
String message, response;
do {
System.out.println("Enter message");
message = unos.nextLine();
networkOutput.println(message);
response = networkInput.nextLine();
System.out.println("Server: " + response);
}while (!message.equals("QUIT"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
try{
System.out.println("Closing..");
soket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Impossible to disconnect!");
System.exit(1);
}ClientHandler:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ClientHandler extends Thread {
private Socket client;
private Scanner input;
private PrintWriter output;
public ClientHandler(Socket serverskiSoket) {
client = serverskiSoket;
try {
input = new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
output = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public void run() {
String received;
do {
received = input.nextLine();
output.println("Reply: " + received);
} while (!received.equals("QUIT"));
try {
if (client != null)
System.out.println("Closing the connection...");
client.close();
}catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error!");
}Those three classes are simple client server multi-threaded connection.Now the other part that contains the search function looks like this:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class User {
String nickname;
String ipAddress;
static ArrayList<String> listOfFiles = new ArrayList<String>();
File sharedFolder;
String fileLocation;
public User(String nickname, String ipAddress, String fileLocation) {
this.nickname = nickname.toLowerCase();
this.ipAddress = ipAddress;
sharedFolder = new File(fileLocation);
File[] files = sharedFolder.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
listOfFiles.add(i, files.toString().substring(fileLocation.length()+1));
public static void showTheList() {
for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(listOfFiles.get(i).toString());
@Override
public String toString() {
return nickname + " " + ipAddress;
User Manager:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class UserManager {
static ArrayList<User> allTheUsers = new ArrayList<User>();;
public static void addUser(User newUser) {
allTheUsers.add(newUser);
public static void showAndStoreTheListOfUsers() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("List Of Users.txt"));
for (int i = 0; i < allTheUsers.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(allTheUsers.get(i));
out.write(allTheUsers.get(i).toString());
out.newLine();
out.close();
}Request For File
package ToJeTo;
import java.util.*;
public class RequestForFile {
static ArrayList<String> listOfUsersWithFile = new ArrayList<String>();
Scanner input;
String fileName;
public RequestForFile() {
System.out.println("Type the wanted filename here: ");
input = new Scanner(System.in);
fileName = input.nextLine();
for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
public RequestForFile(String fileName) {
for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
public static List<String> getAll() {
for (int i = 0; i < listOfUsersWithFile.size(); i++) {
//System.out.println("User that has the file: " + listOfUsersWithFile.get(i));
return listOfUsersWithFile;
}Now this is the general idea.
The user logs in with his nickname and ip address. He defines his own shared folder and makes it available for other users that log on to server.
Now each user has their own list of files from a shared folder. It's an ArrayList.
User manager class is there to store another list, a list of users that are connected with server.
When the user is searching for a particular file, he is searching through all the users and their respective files lists. Therefore for each loop inside a for each loop.
Now the problem is how to connect all that with Client and Server class and put it into one piece.
GUI should look somewhat like this: -
T61 XP-Pro simple file sharing. T61 can't browse its own shared folders nor can Workgroup PC's
T61 simple file sharing.
The shared folders can be seen in "Workgroup" by the T61 and other intranet "Workgroup" PC's but not browsed. This is the error message:
"\Thinkpad\desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found."
What permissions or security settings need set?

Solved!
Go to Solution.When I tried to map a drive I also got " Not enough server storage is available to process this command."
This registry change fixed it:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;177078
I think this T61 6459 must have come with Norton anti-virus and I think I removed it when new in June. When I started using it recently I received the "Unable to load Symevent" error opening cmd.exe and fixed it with the Symevent update...Without Norton do I even need C:\PROGRA~1\Symantec\S32EVNT1.DLL..? Anybody opine?
Anyway I can now browse my shares locally and on the intranet. : -
Frustrated with file sharing to windows
Prior to Leopard, file sharing was SO easy it was one of the greatest features of owning a Mac at my Windows centric office. Now after installing Leopard, MONTHS of reading online forums and the discussions here has gotten me nowhere. The only success I've has has been with FTP.
Can someone PLEASE help me or direct me to the proper tutorial of how to share files on my MacBook Pro with Windows machines? [I don't believe I just begged for help with my Mac!]
What I have accomplished so far is enable sharing in the Sharing Pref Pane and I turned on SMB as everyone has suggested. My Windows machine can see my user folder and all the folders within it but I can not open any of those folders. If I change the access for Everyone to Read & Write then I can do what I'm trying to achieve. Obviously I don't want everyone on my network to have access.
It would seem to me that I'm looking for a simple dialog window on the Windows machine to enter my user name and password but I don't see that. I can not find anyway to "LOG" in to the MacBook Pro.
Why is it that I'm reading all this praise for Leopards new and improved file sharing features yet it seems like they've broken what had worked in the past?
Now that I think about it, I think I was running SharePoint before so that was probably why I never had any issues before. That program unfortunately no longer works in Leopard.I'm a little confused now. I did as you suggested bulldog and created an account in the Sharing Pane with the same user name and password that I use on my Windows machine and gave it Read & Write Access.
When I went to my Windows computer and attempted to navigate from Network Places to Workgroup, Workgroup was not there. I tried to reset my network connection and refresh the window but could never get Workgroup to come up.
I then tried one of my previously mapped shares ("user" on Anthony's MBP) and got an error.
I figured maybe that mapped share's IP got screwed up or something so I went to RUN and typed in my IP address of the Mac. 192.168.1.2/homefolder This actually prompted me for a user name and password! I entered the UN/PW that I had just created, the same one that I use to log in to my Windows machine, and got nothing. It tried to put PCNAME/ before my user name.
Then I tried my UN/PW that I use on my Mac and that FINALLY worked. The confusing part is I KNOW that I've tried this many times before - it's always the FIRST thing that I try. I liked your idea Bulldog and thought that for sure it should work and I like how it limited access to certain folders for that user name.
To add further to the confusion, I thought I'd give everything a second chance before I submit this post. I disconnected from the shared folder on my Windows computer to try and start over. It seems that now Workgroup is showing up. When I double click on that I see my Mac. When I double click on that I get a prompt for a user name and password. I tried both my Mac and Windows usernames and now NEITHER are working.
I turn off File sharing to try to reset it on the Mac side and turn it back on. Workgroup is still present in Windows but when I double click it, it now stalled for 30 seconds and gives me a network path not found error. I repair my network connection in Windows, Workgroup goes away.
I try RUN IP address again and it says that 192.168.1.2/homefolder is not available. I double check and verify that File Sharing is turned on and Read & Write is on for both Mac and Windows user names.
I restart the Windows computer (incidentally a Macbook)
No change
I, again, turn OFF File Sharing - Turn it back on. Now I realize that when you restart file sharing you have to go back to Options and turn on SMB! Doh!
Still no Workgroup but when I enter the IP address I get a prompt. I want to see if Workgroup shows up first though.
I can't get Workgroup to show no matter what I do. I go back to enter my Mac's IP address/homefolder and try the Windows UN/PW and that still does not work. Only entering my Mac's UN/PW works at this point.
For the moment, this will do for me. But it's still not correct from what I can tell. NOR IS IT EASY! Especially considering that what I have found to successfully work today is EXACTLY what I have ALWAYS used to access my Mac computers from a Windows computer.
NOW that I'm connected (?), Workgroup shows up! I double clicked on it and it again prompted me for a username and password. I entered the same one that I used in the last step (Mac UN) and it successfully revealed all the mounted volumes on the Mac.
This is still not solved because I can only get one username to connect remotely to my Mac. Thanks for the help though! -
Networking ~ File Sharing With Windows Vista
Alright, I've browsed enough of the web and I've tried a lot to try and resolve this issue, but none of it has worked at all for me. Here's my scenario about as specific as it gets:
I have a home private network consisting of two Windows Vista PCs, a HP Photosmart Printer, a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.1, and an iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. The network is routed through a Medialink MWN-WAPR300N router connected to a Time Warner Cable modem which goes to the Internet. My primary PC, the MacBook Pro, and the iPhone 5 all connect wirelessly; the other PC and printer connects via Ethernet. All devices connect to the Internet flawlessly, and they are all assigned a static LAN IP address through the router because I portforward to one of my PCs, and the router requires it. The network was originally configured using one of the PCs as a Private network under the default workgroup, "WORKGROUP". Everything else router-specific is automatic.
Here's the problem: My MacBook and my primary PC do not communicate over the network at all. Both the MacBook and my primary PC can file share with the other PC connected via Ethernet, and they can both print just fine. After using LAN Scan v1.02 by Nutec Apps, LLC on my iPhone however, neither my primary PC nor the MacBook Pro shows up on the list of LAN devices. But that's not all, the MacBook Pro always recognizes the other PC via Ethernet in Finder, and the MacBook Pro can be found in both PC's Network list. However, when I try to connect to it via my primary PC, it says that "[My MacBook] is not a valid host name." What?
To futher satisfy my curious mind, I set up a small Peer-to-Peer network between my primary PC and the MacBook Pro via Ethernet. Both devices instantly recognized each other and connected without any issues. I was able to transfer files at approximately 100mb/s and I was stoked. I then disconnected and tried to transfer over the network again, and there was nothing there. I have even done ping tests over the network to the MacBook Pro's LAN IP address, and it came back with no response.
I've restarted both computers numerous times, played around with file sharing settings, set appropriate sharing permissions, disabled firewalls, enabled sharing for Windows on the MacBook Pro, enabled file sharing on the Windows PC, you name it. I'm sure there is a small fix that I may have overlooked, but I cannot figure out what the problem is for the life of me. Because the operation worked via Ethernet, and it's working wireless-to-Ethernet, but not wireless-to-wireless, I have a feeling that the problem is related to one or both of the wireless configurations.
Thanks in advance for any help provided, if there is anything I missed I will be happy to proivde more details per request. This issues has been bugging me for weeks now and it's time I seeked professional helpAlright, I am still having the problem and I have the results of the ifconfig command if it will be of any help to any Apple techies out there:

The section in question is where it says bridge100 because the IP address listed under that section reads 192.168.2.1, as previously suggested. However another IP address is listed above it as 192.168.1.104, which is exactly what it should be as I have it assigned via DHCP in the router. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because this is driving me crazy.
PS: I apologize for the confusion. I made a typo in my previous post about my MacBook's LAN IP address. It should be 192.168.1.104, not 103. I can confirm that it is listed as *.104 in my router and it shows *.104 on the above ifconfig. Please ignore the *.103, thanks -
Yosemite file sharing with windows credentials error
Hello,
While on Mavericks I successfully setup file sharing on my local networks and users on Windows based machines had no issues accessing it. The first time they would find it on their network it would ask them for the credentials I had setup for them as sharing only users on my Mac. However after upgrading to Yosemite while Windows based users can see my shared Mac on their Explorer Browser when they try to access it asks them for a username/password but fails each time stating that it is an incorrect username or password. I am able to access the Windows machine from the mac. I have turned off all firewalls. I have talked with support who viewed screens on both my Mac and the PC to see what was happening but was not able to offer any support. To me it looks like the credentials are either not being properly passed to the Mac running Yosemite or it does not understand the credentials.After spending some more time on this I ran the same text on another laptop. I setup file sharing and tried to access it from my Windows based machine. This has become rather frustrating and after iSO 8 nearly incapacitated my iPhone I am struggling to find the same love for my Apple devices that I did in the past.
-
Right this is annoying the **** out of me. I've enabled everything I should on my Mac to get it sharing with windows. I'm convinced I've broke my OSX, but there's clearly something I've missed which is stopping this from working that maybes someone else can see! So here we go
Gone to system preferences, sharing
-> Ticked file sharing
-> Ticked share files over SMB
-> Ticked my user
-> Added what I want to share and gave permission to everyone as read/write for public folder.
-> Gone to network preferences and setup the WINS server to the same group as my windows PC
Just got the standard apple firewall running on my mac. I've tried disabling this and letting anything through.
The problem im having is my windows laptop cant see my mac quite often. Sometimes it can, and when it can see my mac it only displays shared printers rather than any of my shared folders. The problem here is that I dont have any printers on my mac, and printer sharing is not enabled.
Any idea why this isnt working? I've disabled windows firewall/any other firewall on my windows laptop. My windows laptop can happily access the FTP and HTTP on my Mac. Just has issues file sharing.
I actually had this working a while ago for a day, then it's never worked since. I cant for the **** of it figure out why. I've gone through loads of tutorials to see if i've missed things. Some things have even told me to change a registry file in windows, which I've done to no success.
Cheers in advance!

I want to use iChat video and file sharing with Windows users
Nowadays, iChat is compatible with AOL/AIM, Google Talk, Jabber, Mac.com and MobileMe instant messaging services. I know that Yahoo Messenger support will be available soon in Mac OS X Lion.
I tried using AOL/AIM and Google Talk natively in iChat in order to talk with Windows users which were using Google Talk application or web chatting (Me from: Google Talk - My friends from: Google Talk, and Me from: AOL/AIM - My friends from: Google Talk), but videoconference and file sharing were not available.
I also tried Windows Live Messenger in iChat via Jabber intermediate, but it is not efficient and doesn't work for videoconference and file sharing.
So, which IM service combination I should use to chat with Windows users in order to be able to use videoconference and file sharing using such a great app like iChat?
Thanks you.Hi,
A lapsed Trial or lapsed Paid for MobileMe account will not work in any fashion, as a Screen Name in iChat/AIM apps or as a Email. (Of course it is no longer an Valid Apple ID either).
Given that Google is a Jabber server iChat will Video (or Audio Only) Chat Jabber to Jabber.
With a Valid AIM name (AIM, MobileMe or @mac.com) then it is supposed to work to AIM on a PC
This tends to vary from person to person as to success.
From AIM version 6.5 AIM introduced a Send as Typing feature called "Real Time"
It does not work to iChat and in fact also has to be turned Off in the Buddy List at the AIM end for Video or Audio chats to work.
The AIM app also has to be allowed through the Windows Firewall as an Exception, preferably with UPnP enabled as well and UPnP enabled in their Router.
Trillian is a paid for App for PCs that provide an alternative.
Recently theri site offered 3 windows versions
The Pro version of verion 3.2 (known to work), a version 4 and a version 5 in beta. The version 3.2 used to have a free Text chat version and only the Pro version was needed to Video.
Until the site was reorganised the 3.2 version was "On Sale" at a reduced price.
It seems version 5 is now out of beta
They are still separating out a Pro version.
It is a multi-service client
There is also a Mac version although I have not tried it.
I am not sure what you mean by "Manage" your MSN Contacts.
How about using a MobileMe expired account screen name for using iChat with Windows-Google Talk users? Should I expect the same incompatibilities?
I have already addressed part of this. The fact the name will not work full stop.
However one way of reading this is that you are thing of linking AIM and Jabber (Google) Buddies in one Buddy List
Directly in iChat this cannot be done - unless you are the one with the Jabber Account and an AIM Transport set up.
You would be subject to the same Text Chat only restrictions.
It is a bit like the fact your phone line can be used for Fax, Telephone and DSL broadband. (in fact mine does TV as well)
You granny would not be able to talk to your Fax machine if that happened to answer the call.
Her Fax machine might be able to communicate with your computer if you had an active Fax app on there, and a dail-up modem active to answer.

Printer and File Sharing with Windows is not working
I have a MacBook Pro, Vista machine, and an XP machine on my network.
The MacBook Pro is running 10.5.2.
The Windows machines can see the MacBook Pro and access files on it, but I cannot see the Windows machines in Finder - thus I can't access the printers on those machines.
If I goto 'Finder> Go> Connect to Server' and enter smb://ipadress I am able to mount the shares and access them.
But obviously this does not help me with Printer sharing.
Any help is appreciated, but FYI I have been reading many suggestions and none have worked.Go to "System Preferences/Security/Firewall" and change settings to: "Set access to specific services and applications". "File Sharing" and "Printer sharing" were already present for me, I don't know how to get them if they are not, and I don't know what the ramifications for security are. I can now see Windows computers and printers.

Now I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but can someone help me out?
I have a Lenovo laptop from college running Windows 7. Because this laptop has to be in the school's domain for me to access the server (used for exchange email with Outlook, network drives, ect.) I cannot join a workgroup. I know how to set up the file sharing otherwise, but this little snafu is preventing me from setting it up. How do I work around this to share files over my home network with my iMac running Snow Leopard?Jratz2k9 wrote:

This forum is for 10.6 Snow Leopard.
To get it 10.6 onto a windows Domain open System Preferences->Accounts, Join button. To join a Windows workgroup open System Preferences->Network pane, Advanced button , WINS tab. Put in the Name of the Windows Workgroup name and at the bottom of the page hit the + button to add the IP of the WorkGroup server.
Now when you are the same IP subdomain IP range with your Home computers. Then to Share files open System Preferences->Sharing tab and click on the type of sharing you want to do. Just remember to add the name of the Users you want to share with by adding in the window panes. -
File Sharing with Windows (XP/Vista)
Hello all,
I've studied various websites including the Apple support documents and I'm still a little confused about file sharing.
Is there a way to share only certain folders via SMB with a vista/xp machine?
E.G. can I just share my 'public' folder?
I've managed to share my entire account. I've managed to create a new account, and share that.
But what if I just want to share one folder?
In the 'options' box you can choose 'SMB' then the accounts you want to share. If you leave the all the accounts unticked, then try and access the computer from vista, it throw up an error.
I found this: http://tech.ifelix.net/3022.html which makes it all look very simple.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Is there a way to share only certain folders via SMB with a vista/xp machine?
Yes. The easiest way is to use System Preferences -> Accounts and click on Guest. Make sure that "Allow guests to connect to shared folders" is ticked.
Then, go to Sharing -> File Sharing and make sure that SMB is enabled. PC users should then be able to see public folders and write to drop boxes without logging in.
To enable more folders to be shared, click on the "+" underneath the Shared Folders pane, and choose the folder that you want to share. Then select this folder to assign user privileges. "Everyone" is equivalent to Guest, so if you want guests to see your folder, make sure that "Everyone" can read.
if you want the PC user to "login" to your Mac without using one of the Mac accounts, you can create a "sharing only user" by clicking on the "+" underneath the Users panel. You will be able to assign a username and password for this user. The user will then show up in the list of accounts to be enabled for SMB file sharing (after you click on the "options.." button).
Cheers,

Lion SMB File Sharing with Windows 7 stops working after reboot
I'm running my macmini with lion 10.7.1. I have switched on File Sharing and ticked 'Share files and folders using SMB (Windows)' and ticked my user account. Using the same account name and password on windows and I can access the shares on the macmini fine.
Soon as I reboot the macmini the sharing stops working and Windows just prompts for a username and password. If I disable and enable file sharing again on the macmini then windows can access it again just fine, reboot the mac and it stops again, is this a bug in Lion or have I not got it setup correctly?Whatever the issue is, it's still happening for me in 10.7.2

Lion SMB file sharing with windows "Access Denied"
In general SMB (windows) file sharing works fine on my home LAN (for Mac and Windows PCs). However, Adobe Flash CS3 for Windows (Win7x64) yields an "Access Denied" error trying to open any FLA file shared from my Mac Mini home server running Lion. I have double checked the permissions, and the client windows box is signing in with the correct user/password to have r+w priveledges to the files in question (rw-r--r--/644).
Copying the files locally resolves the issue (but isn't a good long term solution of course).
Is Flash is trying to take some sort of file lock that Lion's SMB/CIFS implementation doesn't support? Any ideas?I have this issue as well. and I have it on multiple configurations. My windows machine can't open an fla file on a osx lion share. another person working on the same project (on a different network setup) can't to it either. seems like something broke with lion that was working perfectly fine on snow leopard.
