How to share on a local network. Network folder access settings

Updated - 2017-02-15

You have created your own with Internet access . Now it's time to take full advantage of the network. And they are not so few. But first, we'll look at how to make a shared folder.

You will not run with a flash drive from computer to computer. Having a local network is already simply ridiculous and inconvenient. A local network is created for this, so that resources are shared. Can be made common HDD, or you can create separate folder, and store documents for public use in it.

You will have your file server with file sharing. Moreover, this folder will be opened from your computer, and you do not need to search for it throughout the network. Everything is quite simple and does not require any material costs. Enough to customize general access to this folder .

How to make a shared folder

We have already created a small one, and now we can make a folder common to all computers.

Create on any computer on the network new folder and call it " My files(You can call it whatever you want). Click on this folder right click mouse and select from the drop-down menu Sharing and Security.

A window will open Properties: The name of your folder . On the tab Access check the boxes Share this folder and.

For Windows 7 the choice in the list will be as follows: -Sharing - Homegroup (read and write) -

AT WindowsXP the following window will open.

Everything is clear with the first point, but I will explain a little about the second. The fact is that if you do not check the box Allow changes to files over the network , then the person who opened your folder on his computer will only be able to view the files, but he will not be able to delete them and change anything in them. Sometimes this feature is very useful. If you are confident in your network partner, then check this box, and if not, then it is better to secure your files.

At work, I have one folder on my computer that contains the files necessary for the programs to work. In order not to go to all the offices with a flash drive or disk. Especially if I have DVD disc, and the drive on some computer does not read it, then this is very inconvenient.

And so I sit down at someone else's computer, open my folder over the network and install necessary program. And so that someone foolishly does not delete these files, I do not have a check mark on the item Allow modification of files . But you can copy these files. So - see for yourself.

Now let's set it up so that other users on your network can open this folder on their computers. To do this, go to another computer and click on the desktop icon network environment .

A window will open network environment .

Select an entry on the left Show workgroup computers and click on it with the mouse.

The following window will open.

Select the computer on which your file sharing folder was created and open it. You certainly won't have that many computers.

Find the network folder icon. I have it" My files". And drag or copy it to your desktop.

System administrators call this folder sharing.

Now you do not have to search the network for this folder every time. The files will be stored on the computer where this folder was created. Similarly, you can create any folder on any computer connected to your network and share files.

So we considered the question - how to make a shared folder.

Setting up resource sharing is pretty easy, but there are a few things you need to take care of first. (Easiest option sharing(described in the Homegroups section.)

In order to share resources, your account needs a password. If you haven't set a password yet, open the User Accounts window in the Control Panel and click the Create a password link.

* You can make it so that it was impossible to use ad-

administrative accounts without passwords. Open the Control Panel __Ж" page Parental control(Parental controls), and if in the opened window

there is a yellow box that says One or more administrator accounts do not have a password, then click on it. On the Ensure Administrator Passwords page, select the Force all administrator accounts to set a password at logon check box, and then click OK.

Now in the Control Panel, open the Network and Sharing Center. If in the View section active networks(View your active networks) there is a link under your network name public network(Public network), click on it and select either Home network or Work network. (If you cannot click this link, the network is not working properly; see Chapter 6 for troubleshooting tips.)

Open the HomeGroup page in the Control Panel and click the Change advanced sharing settings link at the bottom of the window that opens. The window shown in Fig. 7.16.

On the Advanced sharing settings page, make sure the Home or work section is expanded ( current profile) (Home or Work (current profile)), and set the following switches:

About Enable network discovery(Turn on network discovery)

О Turn on file and printer sharing (Him on file and printer sharing)

A Use 128-bit encryption to help protect file sharing connections

A Turn on password protected sharing When finished, click Save changes. Please note that 128-bit encryption can create problems when using public access on Macintosh computers or old computers Windows control. If this happens, disable encryption.

Finally, if you do not know the name of your computer, then determine it. See the sidebar “What is the name of my computer?” for more information.

WHAT IS MY COMPUTER NAME?

Other users see your computer name when they access your shared folders, so it's in your best interest to choose a user-friendly and reliable name.

Click the Advanced system settings link ( advanced system settings) on the left side of the System window from the Control Panel and go to the Computer Name tab. Ignore the field Description (Computer description); are you interested in the field Full name(full computer name).

You can also open command line and execute the hostname command - it returns the computer name.

All computers in local network must be different names, but they must be in the same workgroup. To rename the computer or change the workgroup name, click Change (do not click the Network ID button).

You may need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.

Now you're all set to set up sharing.

Windows 7 provides three ways to share a folder: Sharing Wizard, Advanced Sharing window, and Homegroups.

About Sharing Wizard

It's not actually a real wizard, but that's what it's called on the View tab of the Folder Options window in the Control Panel (more on this panel in Chapter 2). If the Use Sharing Wizard check box is not cleared, you can select any files and folders in Windows Explorer, open the Share with drop-down menu (shown in Figure 7.17) and select one of the options: None of the users (Nobody), Homegroup (read) (Homegroup (Read)), Homegroup (read and write) ( Homegroup (Read/Write)) or Specific Users(specific people). The Share with menu is also available from the right-click context menu.

Unfortunately, Windows does not tell you if this stick is shared, and if so, to whom. In addition, the parameter None of the users (Nobody) is an outright lie. If any parent folder of the selected item is shared, that item can also be accessed over the network, even if the Share with menu is set to Nobody. To avoid misunderstandings, use the settings of the Properties window, which we will talk Further. Please note that in some situations you may not even be aware of the public access available to your hard drive. For more information, see the Disabling Administrative Shares section.

About Advanced Sharing

To check if a given folder or any of its parent folders is shared, right-click the folder, select Properties from the shortcut menu, and select the Sharing tab. (Sharing). The window shown in Fig. 7.18.

If the parent folder of the selected folder is shared, then no settings in this window will change the settings for access through the parent object. To change the sharing settings for a parent folder, close the preferences window, right-click on the parent folder, select Properties, and go to the Sharing tab.

To open the Advanced Sharing window shown in fig. 7.19, click on the button of the same name. The Share this folder checkbox allows access to the selected folder and all of its contents. In the Share name field, enter a name that users on other computers will use to access the resource. Leave the default value so that the share name is the same as the source folder name.

But that's not all. Click Permissions - the window of the same name will open, shown in fig. 7.20. As discussed in the "Setting Permissions for Files and Folders" section, sharing permissions are different from file permissions, although for sharing to work, the two types of permissions must match.

Note that the Everyone group - and it really does include all users - has been granted permission to read files, but no one has Change or Full access(full control). It hardly suits you. Select Everyone in the Group or user names field and click Remove. Now click Add, enter your username in the Enter the object names to select field, and click OK. After that, highlight your name in the Group or user names field and check the boxes required permissions in the Allow column. In order to allow remote user read, write and delete files, check the Allow box in the Full Control line.

About Home Fuppa

Windows does not have any special icons to indicate what to this object open network access. (AT previous versions Windows used a drawing with two men for this - if you saw it on the punk icon, you immediately realized that its contents were available to someone else. Obviously, Windows 7 users don't care about such trifles.) To see a list of almost all shared folders, open the Network folder in Windows Explorer and navigate to your computer's pane. About how to view full list shared folders, including folders with hidden access, is described in the "Disabling Administrative Shares" section.

When setting up a local network on Windows 7.8 and 10, you need to correctly assign access to users and configure services. Otherwise, a network error occurs with codes 0x800070035, 0x80004005, or 0x800704cf and a message appears that Windows cannot access the desired network folder, disk, device, or file.

The error message, depending on the OS version, may look like this:

1. Windows cannot access the computer on the local network. The network path was not found. Error code:
2. Windows cannot access the network folder/drive/other location on the local network.
3. Windows cannot access *Folder or file*. You do not have permission to access *Folder Path*. Talk to network administrator to gain access.

[Update] It is possible to quickly fix errors with code 0x80004005 (and sometimes with the rest) by weighing just one entry in the registry:

1. Open "Start" -> "Run", enter regedet and press Enter.
2. In the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key, navigate to \Software \Policies \Microsoft \Windows\ LanmanWorkstation.
3. RMB - create new parameter name AllowInsecureGuestAuth type of REG_DWORD Enabled Value 1 (value 1 - enabled). Restart PC.

Fixing network errors 0x800070035 and 0x80004005

The reasons why Windows 7 or 10 can access a network folder or files almost always lie in incorrectly set system settings, rather than in any errors. For similar reasons, on the local network, it can, and the system will give the error “Could not establish a connection. Network path not found." with similar codes. Most of the problems are fixed elementarily, with the help of simple changes settings.

If Windows cannot access the network folder and gives errors 0x800070035 or 0x80004005, you need to:

1. Check sharing settings.
2. Make sure it's enabled network service"Server".

Checking Sharing Settings

Errors when accessing a network folder often occur in Windows due to incorrectly set permissions. If the drive, folder, file or computer is not shared, then other members of the local network will not be able to establish a connection.

Sequencing:

1. Select the network folder or drive you want to share.
2. Right-click, select "Share" from the context menu.
3. Go to the submenu item "Specific users".
4. In the window that opens, click on the triangular arrow next to the "Add" button.
5. Select the user to whom you want to grant access from the list that appears. If there are no users in the list, select the "All" option.
6. Set access rights for the user: read only (view files), or read and write (the ability to change, add and delete files from a network folder).

After that, you need to click the "Share" button and, if the system does not show any errors or warnings, click on the "Finish" button.

After that, the system should open access to the specified path for all users of the local network.

Checking the health of the Server service

"Server" is a built-in service in Windows, necessary for the operation of the local network and connection to remote computers, devices or files. If the computer has not previously been used as a server or to connect to home network, the service may be disabled. This often causes access errors to network folders, even when the rights for all users are set correctly and the rest of the OS settings are normal.

Enabling and disabling services in Windows 7 and 10 occurs in the Control Panel:

1. Click "Start" - "Administrative Tools" - "Services".
2. If the "Administrative Tools" tab is not in the "Start" menu, go to the "Control Panel" and find the "Services" item in the "Administrative Tools" tab in the list.
3. A window will open with all the services in which you need to find the "Server".
4. Right-click on the "Server" line, select "Properties" in the context menu that appears.
5. In the window that opens, in the "General" tab, select "Startup type": automatically or manually.

If the service was originally disabled, the Startup Type will be set to Disabled. Starting it manually will force the service to be restarted every time it needs access to a network folder, remote computer or files in home group. AT automatic mode the service will start on its own, and re-do specified actions not required.

Configuring network card properties

Connection errors network devices with codes 0x800070035 and 0x80004005 can be solved by setting network connection. In the settings of the network card, you need to uncheck the iPv6 protocol, and also configure iPv4. The method works equally well in Windows 7 and 10 all versions. First, you should only try to turn off the iPv6 protocol, and only then perform the rest of the steps if this simple method did not help.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Go to the "Start" menu, go to the "Control Panel".
2. AT Windows 7: Go to "Network and Sharing Center", then "Change adapter settings". For Windows 10: In the control panel, select "Network and Internet", then "Network and Sharing Center", select "Change adapter settings" in the left menu.
3. Select the LAN connection that cannot be accessed. Right-click on it and select "Properties".
4. In the properties of the network card, remove the icon from the iPv6 protocol.
5. Open the properties of the iPv4 protocol, go to the "Advanced" tab.
6. Open the tab called "WINS", click on "NetBIOS Settings".
7. Check the box depending on the type of ip-addressing: "Default" for dynamic ip-addressing and "Enable NetBIOS over TCP / IP" for static.
8. Press “OK”, “OK”, “OK” three times.

After that, several simple actions in Device Manager:

1. Open "Start" - "Control Panel" - "Hardware and Sound" - "Device Manager".
2. Go to the "View" tab, select the "Show hidden devices" checkbox.
3. Click "Network adapters" and remove all 6to4 adapters.

The changes will take effect after you restart your computer.

Setting up Component Services

The settings of this service rarely cause access errors to network folders and devices. For this reason, it is advisable to change the service settings last, if the other methods did not help.

Setting instructions local access via Component Service:

1. Click the "Start" button, enter "Component Services" in the search field.
2. Right-click on the found result, select "Run as administrator" in the context menu.
3. In the pop-up window, allow the program to make changes to this computer. The service window should open.
4. Expand the "Component Services" window, open the second "Computers" window.
5. Right-click on My Computer, go to the Properties tab, then Default Properties.
6. Set Default Authentication Level to Default.
7. Set "Default Impersonation Level" to "Impersonation".
8. Press the "Apply" button.
9. Press the "OK" button.
10. Close the Component Service window.

It is advisable to immediately restart the computer, and then try to connect again. If the error persists, you should check the network folder access settings.

Network folder access settings

Windows may give an error when accessing a folder and ask you to contact the administrator when wrong settings shared folder where the distributed files are located. At the same time, all devices within the local network can normally detect each other, and the connection is established without problems.

Only those users who have access can view the contents of the network folder. This is easy to check:

1. Click on desired folder right click, open "Properties".
2. Go to the "Security" tab.
3. In the "Groups or Users" window, the "Everyone" item should be selected.

If so, then everything is in order. Otherwise, you need to add a new group:

1. Click the Edit button below the Groups or Users window.
2. Click on the "Add" button, go to the "Advanced ..." tab.
3. Click "Search", select the line "All" in the search results, and then click "OK".
4. Click "OK" again.

It remains to set the rights for the created user group "Everyone" - read, access, change, and so on. The same way can be installed different settings for individual groups, but this is optional. One setting for all users will reduce the risk of repeated mistakes access to a minimum.

Some users create home local networks. Usually this process is carried out in order to be able to access the Internet from any equipment connected to this network.

You will need

• network adapter.

Instruction

In order to avoid large additional financial costs, focus on already existing network. Set up one of the computers to act as a router.

Connect the Internet connection cable to one of the network cards. Turn on the computer (laptop), create and configure a new Internet connection.

Connect another network adapter to a second computer on the local network. Open the settings of the appeared network. Navigate to Internet Protocol TCP/IP. Set for this network adapter permanent (static) IP address. Let's say its value is 134.134.134.1.

Today I will tell you how to create a shared folder and configure network access to it in windows 10. This operating system on the this moment the newest in Microsoft and as they claim the latter. However, many users began to think, for various reasons,. I, as already said, and therefore I will show and tell how to access shared resources windows 10 on this system.

Setting a password on windows 10

If you have a password set, go to the next step. In order to avoid problems with access to common windows resources set a password. If this is not done, then it will not be possible to work with shared folders on some machines.

To enable account access windows records 10 by password. in Account Management. To do this, click the Start button, Settings.

Select section " Accounts”And here we will see that Windows itself warns us about the need to add a password so that all parameters can be used.


Click the "Add" button. Create and save a password.


After that, you can reboot or log out of the system and already log in with a password.
This completes the first part.

Setting up sharing in Windows 10

To record this lesson I set to windows computer 10 home official assembly and updates that were available at the time of writing.
So let's get started. We have a folder with files and folders that needs to be accessed over the network. First action. Click on the folder with the right mouse button. And click "Properties", as shown in the figure. Pictures are clickable and if you want to increase the size, then click on the picture with a screenshot.

On the "Access" tab, click the "Advanced settings" button

and check the box "Share this folder."

Click the "Permissions" button. Here we configure permissions for groups and for individual users. We have an easier task. I want to give read permissions to the Everyone group. By default, this is how it is set, so we make sure that the parameters are set as needed, we confirm consent with the "OK" buttons.

Select the "Change" button.

Since access must be granted to everyone, we press the "Add" button. In the window - "Enter the names of the objects to select" enter, "All" with a capital letter and click "OK"

The Everyone group is now displayed in the list.

Select it and click the "Advanced" button. I need the files and folders inside this directory to also become available over the network. To do this, check the "Replace all permission entries of a child object with those inherited from this object" checkbox.

We confirm the desire by clicking the "Yes" button

If there are a lot of files and directories in the folder, then this procedure may take a long time. Therefore, wait for the operation to complete and close the folder settings.

Go to the settings of sharing options

The performed operation is not enough for any user to have access to the folder over the network. Therefore, I will show how to set up the system so that public resources become visible and can be accessed without a password. So. Click "Start", "Settings" and select "Network and Internet"

Select Sharing Options. In the current profile, in my case it is guest, "Guest or public (current profile)" enable the "Turn on network discovery" and "Turn on file and printer sharing" buttons.

Further in the section "All networks" (you can open and close the section using the buttons in the form of arrows in a circle to the right of the section name). Turn on the "Turn off password protected sharing" buttons and save the changes.

Now access to shared resources (folders, printers, etc.) is open and any user on your local network can use them.

Getting access to windows shared folders from xubuntu

Now let's check if access has been opened. We load the system. We open file manager. I'm using a freshly installed xubuntu 16.04 with all the latest updates. And the regular file manager thunar.

Double-click "Browse Network" to display the available network resources. And we see that the folder is displayed - " Windows Network". We open it.

This folder contains available networks winodws. In my case it is working group WORKGROUP.

We open it.

A dialog box will appear in which you enter a name. windows user the password we created.
