Windows Server 2003 Sharing Settings
Permissions
"Permissions" means giving rights to folders and file operations to users who are registered in the computer. There are the following two types of permissions.
Network Permissions
They restrict users from accessing shared folders via the network.
Local Permissions
They restrict access to folders by users who are logged in to the computer.
"Local permissions" can only be set when the drive where the folder is located is formatted with NTFS.
Sharing Files with Unrestricted Access
This section explains how to grant "full control" permissions to the "Everyone" user account so that anyone can access the shared folder.
1.
Create a shared folder.
We recommend creating the shared folder in a location that would be easy to find later, such as directly under the C drive.
Example: C:\share
Use single-byte alphanumeric characters for the folder name.
The folder name created here is needed by "How to Save to a File Server (A Shared File Server)." We recommend that you make a note of it so that you do not forget.
