this could be for software too so sorry if it seems wrong..... im wanting to make my xp machine into a file server for my flat mates etc its just a stand alone sitting in the corner so they can access files but not delete etc .... i was wanting a web login but apart from that i dont want to use the usual network sharing etc ....... any ideas ?
file server ????
- Thread starter knowlesy
- Start date
total overkill. even normal windows file sharing defaults to read only access for everyone.
how do you use IIS ??
im trying to share external hdds (which ive done before a long xp install ago) and it wont let me share them now nor will it let me share another internal drive
windows error
or if i untick the use easy file sharing in the documents a login appears and it wont let me login on any of them .... "computer1/flat" ??? all on workgroup/mshome
edit
just worked when i used map network drive ......this only works if im an admin how can i change this .....

Make sure you don't have simple file sharing on and ensure that your other users (from other machines) have been added into your PC's local users with the same passwords.
Hope that helps..
you could use http://www.apache.org/ its easy to setup and will do the job your
asking you can also password any of the folders you share.
