Choosing NTFS permissions for shared drives on a local private network
I FINALLY figured out the solution to getting access to the shared drives on my desktop PC. I had to set the NTFS permissions to include "Everyone".
But what if I don't wan't to allow everyone on the network access to these files, and only the user account on my laptop instead?
When searching through the principal groups in the NTFS permissions for drives located on the desktop, my laptop user account isn't listed as a choice. Choosing "Authenticated Users" or "Administrators" does not allow for network access. The only way I've managed to give my laptop access to the drives on my desktop through the local private network, has been to set the NTFS permissions for those drives to include "Everyone". Is there a better way?
Thanks.
