I am using a network at college and my friends and I have had a great system of file transfer, but now I find that XP is inhibiting me. Using 98SE we all had upload folders that gave others full read/write access to a specific folder. We were using a password we all knew, this made giving people files easy, but prevented random files being written to our folder and was a good virus protection. Now with XP Pro I find that I am unable to set a password to a folder. I can still access other computers with folders that are shared with a password using the usual password prompt, but I am unable to set a password. XP help files are no help on this matter, atleast I haven't found them to be.
If anyone can tell me how I could set shared folders to be accessed only with a password it would be great.
