Re: Question about mapping a shared folder

Note that if you have a share DATA
at :
servername : PC
C:\private\DATA\norisk\factor

Then it is possible to map to
\\PC\DATA

You could also map to
\\PC\DATA\norisk\factor
Ending deeper then from where you shared it.
This might be handy if DATA functions like a placeholder folder where not
all rights are givven, for example you not allow people to write or create
folders in data, to keep it organized. The user this way cannt get up to Data
he endsup in \factor

As an admin for yourself
you could always go to
\\PC\C$ > C root



In simple the server just keeps a list of all shared folders.
Which is easy to see go to your computer > manage > shared folders

Oh and it's actualy possible to gove different share names for a certain
folder
C:\personal\data
Might be shared as "Data" but could also as well be shared as "Informatin"

Keep in mind the share permission are a first filter (normaly wide open)
While file folder permisions are the end resulting filter which decides if
you have rights to access something.
