And its easier (doesnt take forever) if you use simple file sharing. Thats if youre using XP Pro, Home doesnt have it. However, if you untick simple file sharing (you wont get permissions), unless the hdd is formatted in NTFS | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

So does that mean the remote person needs to have a local account on the PC (in order for permissions to be added)? In which case, if simple file sharing -is- used, and they change files, under whose permissions do they do the actions? |

Correct I'm pretty sure thats exactly what you have to do In which case, if simple file sharing -is- used, and they change files, under whose permissions do they do the actions? You dont have to use / change permissions if you use simple file sharing. Since the security tab isnt there (after you select simple file sharing). The security tab only appears if simple file sharing isnt enabled / ticked |

The security tab only appears if simple file sharing isnt enabled / ticked Sorry, I meant when simple file sharing is used, which account is used to make changes to files? Eg when simple file sharing is used, someone creates a file on a shared drive. Then simple filesharing is turned off to enable permissions. If you right click on that newly created file, who would be the owner? I can't test this at home since I currently only have 1 pc. |

I just tested it in virtualPC (I created a text file the owner was me and administrator\name\admin) |
