Hello,

I want to create a shared folder(Parent) which contains sub folders(Child). The parent folder should be accessed by everyone with read permission. But the child folders should have individual permissions. For eg.

Parent folder : parent
1st child folder: child1
2nd child folder: child2
3rd child folder: child3

Access permission.

User1 - Child1
User2 - Child2
User3 - Child3

All the three users should be able to access the parent folder, through which they should access their repective folders.

Thank you.

But you first have to tell us the OS in use and the Network Topology so we can tell you how to do this. ;)

network. In this type of network, all security information is held on each
machine locally rather than on a central server. This means that you have to
create a User account on the XP machine for everyone who needs access to
it. The User account must be IDENTICAL in every way to the User account that
exists on the remote machine. Or go to http://www.le.ac.uk/cc/dsss/docs/acls1.shtml that one's straight foreward or Windows XP File Sharing -
