How do you share individual folders in Panther on a windows network?

[taeclee99]

Ok, I turned on windows sharing under the preferences. For instance how would I share just the Itunes Music folder and nothing else for just one Windows user? In Windows Xp sharing a single folder is pretty simple. I for the life of me cannot figure this one out in Panther.

its not that simple coz u will have to modify smb.conf....it wd be in /etc/smb.....so if you are comfortable using terminal..then add the following to smb.conf


[mp3]
comment = "MP3s"
path = /Users/your_name/music/itunes
browseable = yes
guest ok = no
read only = no
create mask = 644
directory mask = 755

cheers

The app Sharepoints can give you a gui to share folders.

You can also put items in your Public folder. This allows users to browse items you've made public without giving them access to anything else. This is your default "shared" folder.
