Specific permissions on a windows share from an android device..
I work for a manufacturing company. We bought some Android tablets for production workers to pull up drawings and procedures.
I have the information they need in a specific directory on a server.
How do I make a user have access to only that one directory on the server and nothing else.
I have tried using ES File explorer and it allows to go up to the root...once on the root, the user can see all of the shares on the server...dont want that.
Any ideas?

As long as the users don't have permissions to open the other shares it shouldn't matter if they see them. But if it does matter, you could create a virtual server and share just that one folder off of the virtual server.

Well the other shares have "Everyone" access. ...but I do not want these users to have access.
As far as building a VM, thats a little too extreme.
Basically I was wondering if windows has an explicit deny function for everything except a single folder.

Try adding a $ to the end of your Windows shar name. it won't appear when browsing the network.

After thinking about the situation more, we went with the tedious route. This did what we wanted. It just sucks that Windows doesnt do what I wanted in the beginning.
