password for accessing network folders
How do I set a network password between all computers on my network,
prohibiting certain computers from accessing certain files/folders. I want that small box that comes up like "Enter network password"... to gain the access to the certain folder. How do I do this? |

password for accessing network folders
I found out that in order for the "enter network password" dialogue box to
come up after attempting to open a folder, you have to log on and off to reset it. If I log on and click on the shared folder, it asks for my network password. However, this unlocks all folders and I can access all folders. Also, like said, it does not re-lock and it keeps letting me into the folders after they have been closed. To reset this network password, I have to log off, then back on again. Is there a way that it resets after you exit the folder? "WTC" wrote in message ... the "enter network password" dialogue box.

password for accessing network folders
Yes, I can modify shared permissions, but I like the idea of having a
password dialogue pop up every time. If it is not possible to come up every time and I have to log off to reset it, than I suppose that is what I will have to do. Thanks a bunch.

Personally I would use an FTP server using IIS 6. -- William "Bob Willard" wrote in message ...
