Confused about “shared” drives
LockedHi All:
I’m a one-man shop (I do hospital database work) w/ a small Win 2K Server lan (and 4 Win 2K Pro clients). Since it’s just me, I share most of the drives on all clients (and server).
My question is this:
What exactly is the difference between “Share Permissions” and “Security”?
Presently I have “Share Permissions” set to allow Full Control, Change, and Read for my “local machine\Administrators”, and to allow only Reads to “Everyone”.
Under “Security” I allow “Everyone” everything (i.e., Full Control, Modify, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Read, and Write).
At one point, IIRC, I had to do it this way to get all machines to work OK with respect to copying/moving and reading misc. files.
So … can/will anyone give me a concise explanation of these two constructs *and* feel free to advise on any better configuration (as I’m sure there are som more optimal ones).
Thanks in advance,
Out
