Hi,

I have 3 Computers. All computers Have Windows XP Pro on them.

The 1st of the three computers I use as a server storing all my pictures
and
video etc on there and I control this PC remotely from my PC (3rd PC).
The 2nd PC is a Family PC
The 3rd My PC

I want to have the same folders shared up for both computer 2 and 3 but I
want only computer 3 to be able to delete/add new files. Computer 2 only
hass
access to read/view files.

I have tired messing with Permissions and security with no luck, can
someone
help me please.

Cheers,

EL

Windows XP Professional controls access to shared folders based on
user accounts. There's no way to control access based on which
computer wants access.

Ron Lowe and I have written a web page with full details of how to set
up access control based on user accounts:

If you have any questions about it, I'll be glad to help.
