shared folder connection

Hello
I have a workstation with Windows XP Pro SP 3 connected to a network of 25 computers. I want to share folders with access to different users, this isn't my problem, the problem occurs when the workstation that connects to more than 10 users, number of connections is 10.
can increase the number of connections without having to install on the workstation windows server 2003.

Thank you

There is no legitimate way to increase the limit of 10 connections without having to install a Windows Server operating system.

Another solution would be to install a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device on your network or to install Linux on one of your computers and use this computer as a file server.

HTH,
JW

    Hi, hope someone can help me.

    I'm under HPDM 4.5 SP4 on a member of the domain Windows 2008R2 SP1 x 64 server.

    I try to use the model "_Capture Image" on a light field customer non-member HP T610 (Agent version: 4.5.3360.18502, version of the device: 6.1.7601.286)

    Configured the master repository, used Filezilla server and did a test on the FTP and the Shared folder.

    FTP path: ftp: / //hpdm ("C:\Inetpub\Ftproot\HPDM")

    Path of the shared folder: ------\hpdm

    Bin play with the settings and read this for a day, but no mather what I try, whenever I use the model I get: ErrorCode:-400 could not connect to the shared folder.

    Edit: when I run the model, I see a folder created in "C:\Inetpub\Ftproot\HPDM\Repository\Images\test1_1", but the HP Imaging tool displays some time: set up the share folder. Finally the error task and the test1_1 folder is deleted.

    Please advice

  • Number of simultaneous connections that I have in a shared folder on Windows 7 Professional?

    I just need to confirm something.

    Is there a limit the number of users who can access a shared folder on a Windows 7-based computer at the same time?

    As far as I can see the limit seems to be 20 users... the reason why I say that it is when you share a folder, you cannot increase the limit to users who access the folder above 20?

    The solution would be to install the server operating system instead of a workstation OS.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    The limit is 20 concurrent connections. Remember, however, that one device can do multiple connections.

    In any case you would be much better at this sort of level with an operating system server in any case. Office of the OS are not intended to be used for sharing files on this scale.

  • .. .connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11?

    Hi all


    I developed a project a few years back that work as follows:


    This has been designed to work on Win XP, using Director MX2004

    Server installation

    All media when installed on a server and the folder that they resided in a was installing as a shared folder.


    Workstation installation

    A projector has been installed on a PC workstation, as well as the Director of projector, a txt file has installed, the txt file contained the unc path where resided all media files. that is all Director & video file etc.

    The projection file could get the unc path, read the text file and open the appropriate dxr file.


    It worked very well.

    ___________________

    My question is, now I'm upgrading to Director 11 software, it is necessary to work the same way on MAC OS x. The only difference in the system will be that media files will reside on a MAC server and workstations are MACs (Macs Intel, who use the latest OSX).


    How can you connect to a shared folder on a MAC with director 11?


    Its not "\\share_name"... 'afp:\\share_name' should work?


    I get the cannot find "myfile.dxr" alertbox


    I hope that I have explained myself well enough.


    Any help would be much appreciated.


    Thank you

    Jason

    I can't do since Director 11, but you can do with applescript.

    In the AppleScript ScriptEditor, paste the following code, and then save it as an application (like "Mount.app") in the same folder as the projector.

    Then the Director, to write the volume path and the password

    That is to say. AFP://username:password@VolumePath/sharename

    in a text file (like "Mount.txt")

    Then use the command open the Director to turn up the volume

    Open _movie.path & "Mount.txt" with _movie.path & 'Mount.app '.

    -applescript below

    on open (dittos)

    the value volume to readFile (dittos as text)

      if (volume is "") then

    return false

    end if

    VR;

    Turn up volume

    Return true

      on error

    return false

    end try

    Open end

    on readFile (theFileName)

    Try

    the value theFileRef to (open access file theFileName)

      on error

    return ""

      end try

    Try

    game theText to (read theFileRef)

      on error

    game of theText to «»

      end try

    Close access theFileRef

    Return Letexte

  • Scan cannot access a shared folder on 10.11.5

    I shared a folder on OSX 10.11.5.  The permissions are correct.  I can access the share from a Windows machine (he asks credentials and is REALLY slow to display files), but when I try to scan a document to sharing it errors every time.  It worked until recently.  I'm 100% sure that the credentials on the scanner are correct.

    Just so there is no confusion I created an account on my scanner on a network (which is on the same subnet) with the same references as those of a user on the OSX machine.  The sharing is visible and accessible in writing from a Windows machine.  When I scan from the scanner (A Konika Minolta Bizhub) it says "error: unable to connect to the server."  This isn't a matter of connection/permissions because when I change the credentials, I get a different error message.

    Any ideas?

    So you're probably aware that Apple has changed the version of SMB used 10.7 and later and as a result many multifunctional no longer able to scan to a share on the Mac via SMB. I know that KM has released a fix for some of their machines that made this work again. Since you mention work recently, I assumed that it was a Mac OS x 10.11.x. Is this correct?

    If Yes, then on the KM, you can navigate to sharing Mac instead of using the address book entry? If you can, and then using this function, you should see the Mac and when you select it, you should get a prompt to authenticate. If you specify the account name on the Mac, that needs to be enabled via system preferences > sharing > file sharing > Options > Windows, then the password file sharing, is the shared folder appears? You get an error at this stage, or when you first select the Mac?

  • Sharing folder file transfer between accounts

    I used Migration Assistant to copy files between an old Machine to Windows Vista and a new iMac running El Capitan.  I had to create a new temporary account on the iMac to receive files.

    I try to use the Shared folder to move the files to the main account iMac that has administrator privileges.

    Once logged into the temporary account, I can copy the files in the Shared folder.

    When I go on the account of the first iMac, the copied files are marked with red '-' sign indicating that I don't have the privileges to access.

    I thought it was the accepted method for copying files between accounts but need ideas on how to overcome this barrier.

    Files in the ~/Public are visible to all users on the Mac. But only this user can modify or delete the files.

    If you want to copy the files directly to the real user-> connected on the temporary account, copy the files into/Users/realUserName/Public/Drop box.

    I use ADO tools

    Can someone help me, I would be very grateful?

    Your code will be a connection string that specifies the odbc driver or your code has a dsn that specifies the odbc driver, or your code will point to a udl file that specifies the odbc driver. You don't need to worry about the details of the driver itself.

    I would also echo what mike said about the jet database. It's the wrong choice for many customers. You can use a jet database to debug sql queries and the design of the table if you wish, but you need to move to a more robust db such as SQL Server or MySQL.

  • Can access the shared folder by using the name of the server, but is unable to use the intellectual property

    Hi, I need help with a very strange problem.

    I have a Server 2003 domain controller to PC and all the domain user can access any shared folder of the server using IP address or FULL domain name.

    So I joined a R2 of 2012 new server to the domain as a workstation normal and not as a new domain on the network controller, and the problem is that one cannot access a shared folder on the new server by using the IP, but can be accessed using the name of the computer.

    My Admin user can access the folder using the IP address or the name comp. on any work, but the user of my AD position may not use intellectual property.

    I can using Ping IP or name of the computer for every user of AD.

  • CANNOT write to files in the shared folder of XP on a PC running windows 7 - but good vice versa

    I have a laptop under Windows 7 (SP1) and a desktop running XP (SP3).  I have connected both via a wireless network. While I can see and access shared files/folders from one computer to the other computer, I can only read/write files in the shared folder on the portable computer that is running Windows 7.

    If I try and change a file in the shared folder from the PC under XP on my laptop, I get the message "this file is set to read-only. Try again with a different name "."  I know that the file is NOT checked for read-only. When I change the name of the file I get the error message "\\Desktop\SharedDocs\filename.doc you are not allowed to save in this location. Contact the administrator for approval.  You want to save in the folder my documents instead? "If I save the file to another location on the laptop under Win7 it save then OK.  I can not just save a modified version of the file in the same shared folder from desktop running XP.
    It seems that it must be something to do with permissions and access to the parameters of the desktop running XP but I can not find these. Fairly easy to find in Windows 7.
    Finally, I don't have a login/password set for the connection to the computer to Office XP.  I don't have a user name and password for the laptop Win7 but you have turned off password protected sharing.
    Anyone have a solution to this?
    Thank you

    OK - the problem is now resolved.

    I noticed that the read-only for the shared folder has been checked. When I unchecked it and also checked the box "allow network users to change my files" in the shared folder properties/sharing, I was able to modify and save files in the shared folder on my laptop.
    It's a little weird because I thought I had done this the other day where the results have been less successful.  Strange.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Cannot map a shared folder

    I have two computers, X and Y. I want to the map on X, a share named htdocs, who lives in the computer Y.  Both are Windows XP.

    Also note that you will only be able to authenticate as user 'Guest' (IE, not the user "x") if the "Simple file sharing" is enabled on the computer target (10.121.241.140 in your case).

  • Shared folder of Windows XP Media Center number...

    I recently installed a new router on my small network.  I have a main desktop pc that I use as a 'server '.  But just by regard saving the files shared on this topic.  The PC is running XP Media Center.  Well since I installed the new modem/router I can not access the actions of another pc on the network.

    When I installed the new router I have not any changes on the pc.  I rechecked the records to make sure they were always shared and they were.

    I also checked to make sure they were on the same workgroup.  I can ping each computer on the other, so I know that they can communicate over the network.  Don't know what to do next.  IM at a loss.  Any help would be appreciated.

    DS

    It has all the symptoms of a problem of firewall on the server computer.  If you only use Windows Firewall, make sure you that there is an exception "file sharing and printer". Instead of the ping command, try the following command from a window (start-> Run-> "cmd") of each machine control to another:

    nbtstat-a 192.168.1.5

    Where '192.168.1.5' is replaced with the IP address of another machine.

    From the same command prompt window, try to connect manually using the command:

    NET use * \\computer\share

    Where 'computer' is replaced by a computer name or IP address, and "Share" is a shared folder on this computer. Error messages from the command prompt are sometimes more revealing.
