How to Share Folders Over The Network
To synchronize files
between computers you need to run AJC
Directory Synchronizer on one computer and then share
a folder on the other computer over the network.
First you need to decide which is the highest level folder
that you want to synchronize. Then right click on that folder
in Windows explorer and choose Sharing and Security
from the menu.
When sharing folders on Windows XP Home edition the contents
of the folders will be available to anyone on the network.
The only choices you have for security are to make the share
read only (which would only be suitable for a one way sync)
or to create a hidden share by putting a $ sign in front of
the share name.
If you share folders using Windows 2000 or Windows XP Professional
then you have better security because you can assign permissions
to restrict access to the folder share.
