Sharing Question

[army20]

Is there a way to set share permission so that the share does not require any authentification at all ? I've heard that Full control on NETWORK group allow all network user to access the share. Also what about anonymous user ?

Assuming that you are using XP, then this should work, barring any service changes, right click, select properties, select sharing, select permissions, then click add, then click advanced, that should take you to the select users or groups page, and you should just be able to hit "find now" which should fill the list in below. you should see a ANONYMOUS LOGON, select that name and select the NETWORK, and everyone then back out the the "Permission for Directory name" and select each person and grant full control to allow, and that should allow everyone access to the share.

okay, thanks a lot.

But, do I need to assing NTFS permissions for the files (or folder) beside share permissions. I mean if my share is anonymous allow full control but the files insde the share are only administrator allow full control does it make a conflict ?

What are the NTFS permission for the file inside the share to allow anonymous full control ??
