Hey,
I am trying to use RealTimeSync (part of freefilesync) to auto sync a folder of files from my desktop to my netbook over our local network.

This is the way I wish to do it so please don;t suggest alternatives

Bascially, I want the folder synced to a location on the D drive of the netbook rather than the C drive.

If I go to Network on my desktop pc and click on my netbook, it gives me access to the Users folder on C.

I went to the D drive and shared it and it now shows as accessible on my desktop with a sharename of D.

However. I only want the D drive to be accessible to the Neil user account of my desktop and the default account of the netbook.

How can I restrict the access? I have tried several things but can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks

Neil
 
I tried going into Permissions and adding a new user but when i type in Neil-PC\Neil

It can't seem to locate it. Also, when i click the locations button to select my desktop pc, it doesn't show up.

By the way, the netbooks name is Neil-Netbook with a username of Neil

Thanks
 
Ok, but why can't I just allow the Neil account of my desktop pc to access it?

Why doesn't my desktop pc show up in the locations box?

Also, How can you quickly see a list of everything thats currently being shared on a system?
