Thank you very much. I success to access the shared folder.

I want to ask one more question. When I assign the permission for the
shard folder, is it possible I appoint a user only from a specific PC
can access it.

For example, PC-A is the "server" PC, while PC-B and PC-C are "client"
PC. Both PC-A, PC-B and PC-C has a user "Lily", so that "Lily" login
from PC-B and PC-C can access PC-A's shared file provided that
permission in PC-A is set to allow "Lily" to access it through
network.

But, is it possible to only allow PC-B's "Lily" to access shared file,
but does not allow PC-C's "Lily" to access it? When I set permission,
I find that there is an option "location", but I only can choose PC-A
(the sharing machine) in that option.

Please help. Again thank you very much.
