-
- You turn on sharing on your computer. You set the priveleges for the
- people whom you want to have access to whatever folders you want them
- to access. You set the priveleges for guest access (these priveleges
- could be "no access at all," if you want).
-
- You give yourself full access (as owner, you get full access anyway,
- I believe). Then when you log on to your own disk from a remote site,
- you log on with your name and password. An extra added way to do it
- is make an alias of your hard disk and put it on a floppy. Then
- double-click on the alias from the remote site (while it is still on
- your floppy), and you will mount your hard disk without having to
- use the chooser to find it.
