Win NT 4.0 Creating Share File

Are you networked? You can just map a drive to the other PC.

By default, NT creates a hiiden share, C$, on each machine. If you use Windows NT Explorer, and click Tools, Map Network drive, NT will select the next available drive letter, for Path you just type in \\machine name\C$ (substituting the real machine name). So say NT selected drive E: In explorer you will now have access to the C: drive on the other machine and can copy files as if it were a drive in your own machine.

to shared a folder:
highlight the folder then right click the mouse, choose sharing option at menu. select shared as from sharing tab. sign the permisson the click on Ok.

1.Select a directory to share Lets say ntreskit. Left click and go to sharing.
2. Select share as.
3. Type the name you want to share it as it does not have to be the same name as the directory. If you apply $ to the end of the name the share willbe hidden.
You will have to know the name of the share and map it to get access otherwise you won't know it exists. ie kit$ .
4. Assign permissions to the share.
If you don't want anyone else to have access the allow only 2 connections to the share. This way if someone discovers the share name
they will not get access because there do not have permission and the 2
connections may be in use (by you).
5. Go to the computer you want to access the share. left click network neighborhood.select map a network drive. type \\the name of the server sharing the directory\sharename

thats it

Along with all the advice above remember that starting the SERVER SERVICE is necessary on the workstation that the share is being created on (in order to enable sharing in the first place).
1. Login as admin or equivalent.
2. open SERVICES from CONTROL PANEL
3. scroll down and highlight SERVER
4. click the START button
5. you can also configure the service to startup automatically from now on at bootup by clicking the STARTUP button and choosing AUTOMATIC
Continue with the steps listed inthe other letters listed above to share your folder.
Hope this helps.
