• Remote access to public folders - password

  On this HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 desktop computer, I want to access the public folders to another system that connect wirelessly to the network. However, I would like to restrict access to the only people who have a password. I was able to enter 'Network & sharing Center' in the 'advanced sharing settings' section and deselect the password option, which allows the connection of a computer to another, but would also allow someone on the street to access these "public" folders These records contain information that is not really public. How can I determine the user name and the password to use when I re - select the password option?

  I have not implemented 'users' on each machine. Maybe it's the access protected by a key. ???

  This issue has been resolved by my realization that the Wi - Fi protected by, only those who have permission can also access these "public" files Since only those who authorize have access to this same address wireless, it is unlikely that others would be able to view these files.

• 'PC' is not set up to establish a connection on port "file and printer sharing (SMB)" with this computer - I get this after enabling access to public folders and then trying to access (another pc on the network cannot connect to this pc but see).

  • Tried to reconfigure the firewall
  • Tried to change files and printers, sharing options
  • Restarted other computers trying to connect to my public folder
  • Tried to adjust the network discovery
  • Do all computers on the network among the same workgroup
  • I can access public folders from the other computer and their content
  • Other computers on my network, in my workgroup can see my public folders, and users, but cannot access it.
  • Other computers can see my computer, but can not access: error code: 0 x 80070035.

  Can't access: 'Public' and 'Users' in the title:

  -Network
  MyName-PC

  Please don't give me that: "If you try to connect to another computer, make sure that this computer is on, that you have enabled file and printer sharing on both computers, and file and printer sharing can communicate through your firewall." Because I seek NOT to connect to another computer... I want to just access MY Public folder and the users folder and eventually allow others to access also.

  Hi Katmandu774,

   

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  The Public folder is a convenient way to share files that are stored on your computer. You can share files in this folder with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on the same network. Any file or folder you put in the folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your Public folder.

  If you are not on a domain, you can limit network access to the Public folder so that people with a user account and password for this computer. To do this, turn on sharing protected by password.

  1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
  2. Click the arrow next to password protected sharing, and then click one of the following options:

  ·         Turn on password protected sharing

  ·         Turn off password protected sharing

  1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  To control the level of access to the Public folder

   

  1. Open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click network and Internet, click network and sharing Center.
  2. Click the arrow next to public folder sharing, and then click one of the following options:

  ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open files

  ·         Turn on sharing so anyone with network access can open, change and create files

  ·         Turn off sharing (people logged on to this computer can still access this folder)

  1. Click apply. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Also, make sure you add everyone to the public folder and give the necessary permissions to access it.

• Machine Vista "frequently", but not always, ask user name and password to access the public folders on the XP machine.

  Location:

  4 x Vista computers
  1 x XP computer acting as a server file, all the data in the "shared folders".

  All 4 Vista computers were to access shared data on the XP machine for two years without problem. All of a sudden this week one of the Vista computers "Frequently" but not always ask for a username and password to access the machine XP - not only shared folders, but still a list of shared resources on the machine XP via my network places is the result in the box of "connect to" request credentials to appear. All 3 other Vista machines have no problem to access the XP machine, so the problem must be with the a Vista machine.

  To put a spanner in the works as I have said in this case "Frequently" and by that I mean probably 9 of the 10 connection attempts. Let's say, you can see the name of the computer in my network places, you double click it and have asked for credentials, cancel the attempt and to repeat 4 or 5 times and then you could get display shared resources without going into the details of connection. For a few minutes, you might be able to access all the shared data and to navigate through the folders, but then all of a sudden have asked you credentials and can not access to anything, even the files accessed you seconds before.

  Lets say you are able to access the shared folders, you navigate to the Parent folder, then under A folder, then a subfolder B, go back to A notebook, then try to access folder B even once and you get guest credentials, quit out of the network completely locations, navigate back to the XP via Network Places and this machine you not even be able to display all the shared resources on the XP machine.

  I've also set up a shared folder on a Vista machine with matching username and password on the machines and the Vista machine with the get the problem exactly the same problem so this definatley Vista machine with the question and not sharing files on the XP machine.

  Someone at - he met before or have any suggestions?

• to access the "non-public" folders on my laptop wireless

  I can't access "non-public" folders on my laptop wireless even though I can access its public folders.  Specifically, I chose the folder music on my laptop to be shared, but I still don't see it.  I use Windows 7 on the desktop and the laptop.

  Ah well, I struggled with myself before.  There are a few things that you may want to check. There are share permissions, there is also the folder permissions. They are separated, but both must be opened for the part to work.

  So the first place is under the sharing tab/Advanced Sharing / permissions.  The other is on the Security tab.  In both cases, you want to allow 'all' to 'read '.
  Here is the share permissions...
  
  And here is the folder permissions...

  Hello

  Our messaging system is Exchange 2013 and we have three Public folder mailboxes in a database.

The volume of the DB, that hosts mailboxes PF is running out of disk space, that's why I want to move the mailboxes PF in another database where I have enough disk space. This will create an impact for end users in terms of access, permissions, data loss and it? I do any precautionary measures agreement to move?

• Cannot access my public folder when my firewall is on

  I can't access my public folder when my firewall is turned on. But can access it when my firewall is disabled. I already activated the public folder sharing and file sharing.

  Also, I don't see computers connected to my computer when their firewall is enabled and can see when their firewall is disabled. Why is this?

  You must configure your firewall properly instead of turning market.

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  Configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

• How to make available public folders after a SCR failover

  Hello

  My company has an infrastructure of Exchange 2007 SP2.

  We have 2 servers for mailboxes in CCR cluster that also hosts the public folders.

  We have a server SCR where replicate us all databases for site resilience.

  Database of public records is also replicated with SCR replication on the server VCC (what is sense? is supported?).

  I read the database portability TechNet article that addresses how failover to the server of the VCC.

  But the document does not how to failover of the Public folder database on the server of the VCC.

  I think I read that if PF is configured as CCR cluster I can't use native PF replication to replicate to another server.
   
  What is the right way to put at the disposal of users in the case of a failover of server SCR PF?

  Thank you

• Access to system folders

  I need to have access to system folders and get message 'access denied' at every turn, even when I try to change the access permissions to folders.

• How can I move the public folders default location to a new drive?

  I'll put up a brand new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed and a big 500 GB hard drive.  I partitioned the drive into 2 logical drives C: and E:

  Wherever possible I want to store all user data on E: (I know is not possible for all the parameters of the user to move - mores the pity).  I have not yet copied across all the data from my old machine so I just empty folders to play with at the moment.  I moved all the My Documents/pictures/etc files for the e: drive by changing the location in the properties of the folder.

  However, I can't do the same with public folders.  If I right click on the folder, click Properties, then location, it's like I can't change C:\Users\Public\... but it does not change

  No idea why, or how I can get around this?

  This is possible thanks to a Directory junction that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

  First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

  Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

  All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
  Robocopy /MIR %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public     (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

  You need robocopy as he takes care of hidden files, etc., especially if you have the recorded TV folder in public folders.

  Once the copy is transferred, you must delete the existing public folder and create a junction in his place. To do this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and remove the public content and file inviting again by running Cmd as administrator. To remove the Public folder:

  RmDir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public
  
  After creating the new folder location and remove the existing public folder, now is time to create a Directory junction of audiences with the following folders:

  Mklink /J %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public                         (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

  for example: mklink /dC:\Users\Public E:\Public   

  Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
  I hope this helps.

• Cannot move public folders to another location

  Original title: I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder?

  Hello world!

  I encounter a strange error while moving the public folder, although I've done it before without any problem.

  

  

  Thses files that are located in the Public folder in its original volume:

  

  and as you can see this folder "music" is available in the source "C:\users\public".

  That these two folders within the Public folder have been moved to the new location D:\users\public

  

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  However, when I moved to: C:\Users\Public via the command prompt and run the Dir command. I noticed this "Music" folder, but it is not "public music. After that I applied the last command, but instead of running this command:

  "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public.

  I have run this command with the setting 'music' "Public"

  "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public\Music D:\Users\Public.

  And the music folder moved:

  

  But I am quite sruprised that in the first time I did that I only work "robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\ D:\Users\PublicPublic .

  "In addition, as you can see that there is no ' Document Public" and "Public Desktop" in the output of the command "Dir /" via the command prompt. However, records two moved with the command "" robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public D:\Users\Public "without any problem.

  ------------------------------------------------------

  These steps, I made a request to transfer:

  This can be done by a directory connection that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

  First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

  Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

  All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
  Robocopy /MIR %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

  You need robocopy as it supports the hidden files, etc., especially if you haveRecorded TV public folder.

  Once the copy is transferred, you must remove the existing public folder and create an ajunction in his place. To do this, start mode safe mode as an administrator and remove thepubliccontents and folder, and then start theCmd as an administrator command prompt. To remove the Public folder:

  rmdir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

  After you have created the new folder location and deleting the existing publicfolder, now is the time to create a directory Junction forpublic folder with the following command:

  MKLINK /J %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public E:\Public (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

  for example: mklink /d C:\Users\Public E:\Public

  Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
  I hope this helps.

• Move public folders to another drive

  I have a new computer with a small disk C: (SSD) and a large drive D: (mechanical transmission). I moved (My Documents, my pictures, my music, etc.), document records all users using the Properties > location > move... Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work for public folders. I can still go to Properties > location which displays the same message that "You can change where the files are stored in this folder...". "but the path that is displayed is not editable and it is not a move... button. Does anyone know how to move the public folders?

  @Hilmar - all the info that I discovered to date indicate that file Public is not movable. Perhaps, it can be done with a sort of hack to check but if so, I have not found. Instead, I created a new folder in the location I wanted to (in my case, at the disk instead of SSD), manually set the permissions and sharing options and had then my computer users add this folder to their respective libraries. Kind of pain, I know, but it was the only solution that I could find.
