File sharing same guest user computer

I want to share a file, folder, music, documents, photos to the user invited on the same windows machine 8.

How to do that.

tried to use the home group but when recorded in the guest account does not display shared files. Note that this works for users that is created.

Homegroup is really especially to share folders above other computers, not really between accounts on a single computer.

However, there is a way to share files among all users of a computer, by placing the file in the folder Public, located here: C:\Users\Public

There are folders separated inside for Documents, music, photos, etc.  And all this is available to everyone who uses the computer, even the guest account.

  • How to password protect my files shared on my network?

    I am trying to share a folder on the network and the have password protected. I use Windows XP Service Pack 3 Professional. I have disabled in simple file sharing files Options. All my computers are in the same workgroup. For the record I would like to share, I have the following settings:

    On the sharing tab, I 'Share this folder', filled in the maximum limit and the share user name. The "Permissions" button, I deleted "Everyone" and put in a username I've created specifically for the sharing folder connection and he gave total control. Everything is left to him by default.

    For the Security tab, I just like default except added the user account, I created and that you have authorized for total control.

    When I look at from any computer on the network, I can see the computer and shared folders in the working group. There is a default folder "SharedDocs" I open it. But if I try to enter the folder that I created, I get the following error:

    "You are not allowed to access \\MYCOMP\SharedFolder. Contact your network administrator to request access.

    If I do all what I said above, but instead of adding the user account, I put "Guest" or "everyone, then the file can be found on my other computers without the error but no password is invited. What should I do so that when I try to enter the folder, it ask for a login and a password.

    As a side note, my other computers do not have this problem with their shared folders. When I click on the computer under 'View workgroup computers '. Rather than open a list of shared folders, it opens a prompt for a login and a password, and if they are correct, it will show that all shared folders and files shared to that user. If the password of the specific folders is not possible, should what settings I change so that it works like this instead?

    My apologies if this should have been in the files, records and research topic.

    When you connect to a network share, authentication proceeds roughly in this order:

    1. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine sharing the passwords match, while the user is authenticated as himself without another guest.
    2. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name that exists on the machine of sharing and the passwords do not match, then this as seen user denied access to the computer sharing without prompting.
    3. If the user on the remote computer is connected with a user name does not exist on the machine of sharing, an attempt is made to authenticate the user "guest".  If successful, that the user connection looks like it is 'guest' on the machine of sharing user.
    4. If the remote user is unable to authenticate as a 'guest' on the sharing machine, then a name of user and password screen appears to provide authentication.

    It seems to me to make it work as you want, you want to make sure that step 3 above does not occur.  This can be accomplished by disabling the "Guest" on the machine sharing account. (This forces everyone to authenticate on the machine)  Two ways to do as an administrator on the machine of sharing:
    (A) bring up a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    NET user guest / active: No.
    (B) right click on 'My Computer'-> manage-> system tools-> local users and groups-> users
    Double-click "Invited" in the right window-> Put a check in the box "account is disabled".  "OK" your way out.

  • username does not file sharing

    Trying to file on network share local wifi between MBA and iMac. Both on Yosemite.

    MBA sees the iMac on network:

    I click on "Connect under...". "and enter the name of the main account and the password (note: this combination works great on iMac when connecting at startup and for other operations).

    However, this same combination usr/pwd is rejected for sharing.

    Password sharing is somewhat different to the local password on iMac?

    Any ideas?

    OSX 10.11.1 (B 15, 42)

    Hey SaltSeaShark,

    It seems that if you try to connect to your iMac for file sharing on your local network and trying to connect using the user account name and password for this iMac, but it does not allow you to connect. Is this fair?

    One thing to check here would be to see if the iMac is configured for file sharing, because it is not enabled by default. Follow the steps in this article - OS X El Capitan: share your files with other users of Mac

    Note that you can set up file sharing for all users of the iMac or select specific users. Do not forget that you have configured the correct or users to share.

    Also, in System Preferences > Panel sharing > file sharing select the Options button. In the next window, you should at least have selected share files and folders using AFP . (Windows users would normally connect via SMB).

    How to connect with the file sharing on your Mac.

    Advanced options

    If you want to restrict the protocols can be used to connect to your computer using file sharing, click the Advanced Options in the sharing pane. You can then select the protocols are used by your Mac. By default, OS X Mavericks and later automatically enable SMB and AFP for compatibility with Windows, Mac using the Mavericks and Yosemite and Macs computers with older versions of Mac OS X.

    After ensuring it is properly configured, use the steps in this article to connect to shared iMac - volume OS X El Capitan: connect to shared computers and servers for files on a network

  • I want to limit the file sharing on a home network, Windows XP Pro (working group) to a specific user on a different computer.

    I can't get this username entered with success because I'm limited to only users on the computer, I'm trying.  I have Windows XP off file sharing simple.  Both computers running XP Pro and I can share the folder, but it is open to ALL.  Is there a way to do this?

    I would like to try to explain how it works.  You have XP Pro on Computer1 and you have disabled Simple file sharing.  It is a step in the right direction.  The facts are that the file exists on the computer 1 and is 1 computer to control what external connection gets access to this file.  Computer 1 can only validate combinations of username/password names he knows.  Is not in a domain, computer environment 1 includes only names of user and password that exists on the computer 1.  He cannot know or trust any combination of name of user and password that does not exist within itself.  The normal method, most people use is to create the same user on computer 1 that exists on the computer that connects and gives the same password that is used on the computer that connects to this user.  If this is the case, the external user connects seamlessly and have access if 1 computer gave this authorization to the user in this file.  Access can be controlled by right-clicking on the file or folder, select 'Properties' and then use the 'Security' tab to generate an access matrix.

    Authentication: When connecting to the computer 1 from another computer, computer 1 search first if the username on the computer connection exists on the computer 1.  If the user name of the user on the computer connection exists on computer 1 and passwords on both computers to match, the connection is established.  If the passwords do not match, the connection is refused.  If the user name of the logged in user does not match a user on computer 1, then the 'Guest' user is attempted.  If the guest user is not protected by a, then the user will resemble the user 'Guest' and 'Guest' appropriate access.  If the guest user is disabled on Computer1, and then the computer connection displays a name of User/Login screen asking the user to provide credentials (name and password) 1 computer can use and recognize to check that the user.  If a name of user and password recognizes that computer 1 is entered, then computer 1 authenticates the user with this credential.

    Of course, once authenticated, the user will have access to these files to which permissions have been granted to this user authenticated according to the KB307874.  XP cannot grant permissions to users, he knows not (obviously) beyond the 'Guest '.

    Bottom line is that you have discovered in a domain environment (workgroup), you MUST authenticate as a legitimate user who is (and who is not disabled) on Computer1.

  • How to add user from another computer as a Local user for file sharing permissions

    Here's where I'm stuck:

    I am trying to add a new user, but:

    That's what I get on my ThinkPad when I try to do the networking. I placed all the parameters correctly: all 3 of my computers are set the same. 2 workstations work perfectly. They can even see the laptop but not to open all files. The laptop can, open same network t itself file. But he can see the whole of the network (including a printer, is told by the way). I, ve gone through all parameters twice. I've even set the C drives to share via the menus of context on each computer. I have visited many forums with none even come close to this problem (they all will tell you how to set the network parameters or they get very technical and over my head).

    I tried with & without a firewall.

    Thank you bb

    I tried new drivers & returned through sharing & permissions, according to Jack, but he was not good. At the level of experience of my computer I can miss something obvious, but I doubt it because I've been very careful in following the instructions. I am experencing other problems with this laptop as well and I'll just get all. I am planing to get back anyway, that's why I needed network. I wanted to Exchange files over the network to avoid having to ' wait & swap "usb drives. Thanks anyway. Thank you BB bb

  • Is Windows 7 file sharing allows simultaneously several user record updates

    I want to allow multiple users to read and update shared files.  I can do that with the collective dwelling characteristics of files shared in

    Windows 7?

    Essentially no. In fact, she is stuck at a level of access. If a file is opened to a single user, it must be locked read-only to another. Even if the 1st user then abandons the connection to the 2nd user held that he read only until they give up and pick it up again. This has nothing to do with the sharing of files in Windows 7, it would apply in a true client/server scenario. Network access is file level and must be complete, you can have a single user update a sector and another one another in the same file.

    Even at a database level place opportunistic locking on records to avoid 2 contradictory written which takes place at the same time, how a system can focus on accessing a field between 2 users.

    The most obvious solution in a client/server for documents environment is SharePoint, but even that files 'reserved' users to restrict the other until there is only new.

    The classic example of what I saw was at the time of the BACK where the networking addon could allow 2 files of the same name to be created in the same directory because he did not have a functional locking system does not work. When a second user writes the file, that it doesn't have the same identity that the first has so his own writing, 2 files of the same name in a directory could not happen, but it did.

    Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.

    Permissions/Share info is there as well.

    If you use Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky I.S., make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)

    Read the information above.

    1. If it is the domain controller, you cannot change the name of the computer by selecting network ID and this is normal.
    2. If it is a member of the computer in domain or workgroup, you don't have permission to change the name of the computer.

  • Can't see another computer for file sharing

    Hello
    I have 2 computers in my house, a PC running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 and the other a XP Home Edition SP3 race, both connected to the Internet through a router TL-MR3420 and the adapter TP-LINK TL-WN822N. I have enabled the sharing of files on both computers and have no problem to display all of the files shared between each computer, so far.
    Whenever I try to view another computer via "Network" or "homegroup" menu on 7 (or my network places on XP), I can't see my other computer which is supposed to be there. So far, I've tried a few attempts to analyze and resolve:
    1 ping each other by IP - success.
    2 ping each other by the name of the computer - has failed.
    3. try to access to "- and " run - failed with error 0 x 80070035 - path not found network. ".
    4 run diagnose step above on Windows 7, she returned with a result: "the device or resource (my static IP XP) is not configured to accept connections on port 'The file sharing and printers (SMB)'."
    5 turn off the firewall on the computers and router.
    6. ensure that necessary services for file sharing are active.
    7. the reactivation of the wireless connection on both computers.
    8 change the name of the Working Group on both computers.
    9. run ipconfig/all on both computers.
    10 install this fix on my XP.
    Ipconfig, it seems my two computers showing the active DHCP on 'no', so I changed my network settings to "obtain an IP automatically" she turns to the 'yes' later. And "NetBIOS over TCP/IP", showing the different statutes on 7 that it is activated on XP it is disabled, even though I put it activated via the WINS tab on the XP network settings. Still do not solve the problem.
    I don't know if it means something, but I share also some folders on my 7 to my Tablet ES File Explorer app, it works as it should (as long as I use static IP address), but if I try to connect my tablet to shared folders on XP, it always shows error message on either:
    WiFi is turned off (it is)
    SMB server is out of reach of the network
    The ip address is not valid
    Blocked by the firewall
    SMB service is disabled
    I guess that Wifi, IP and firewall are not the problem, and I don't know about SMB, it's stands for Samba / file Printer Sharing? He has already checked on computer network settings.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I solved this.

    I opened my XP, run these commands via cmd:
    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
    netsh winsock reset
    Restart the computer and then change my connection of cable wireless lan then back to wireless again.

  • Not visible XP computer for file sharing

    I used to have an old netgear router that allowed me to file sharing between computers quite freely, but slowly. so I've updated now, I have much more quick netgear WNR3500 filled with firewalls. However the use of this seems to block the visibility of my etherneted xp machine. which means that when I open the computers folder in network in a new vista machine, it shows everything but the xp machine. I have tried disabling firewalls, routers and disabling the ethernet on the xp machine and using a card wireless instead, but it became not yet visible.the router itself responds to the pings and other computers connected wirelessly are but the xp machine won't. I think it's a problem with one of the multiple firewalls, this computer has collected over the years. could someone tell me please how to clear data from the previous network so that I can start a new one. and the ports to open.
