How can I share files between two computers on a network without sharing files with everyone on the network. When I used simple file sharing I was able to access the files, but so was everyone else on the network. I had to stop this and unchecked the box because the files are confidential. I'd like to setup passwords and usernames, if possible. Both computers are running Windows XP Pro X64. There are about five or 6 computers connected to this network. I have put these two computers in their own workgroup, but I can't figure out how to give permissions from the host computer to the other. I've searched the database here and the solutions seem simple enough, but I can't find one with my particular dilemma. I understand what I need to do (set permissions), but I can't figure out how to do it (set permissions). I use both computers and they are on separate floors and they each do different tasks and have different files. However the programs are the same on both computers. I'd like to be able to access each computer using either one, especially when I am asked something and the information I need is on the other computer. I usually have to ask people to wait or I'll call them back so that I can go to the other computer. Very irritating, and I'm sure not just for me. The other computer is used by an employee who is on leave for the next few months. I've been trying to figure this out for about two weeks now, but I am stumped.
