[firoz.raj]

Sir ,
i am using windows 2003 server .Can anybody tell me. How should
i share 1 folder so that only 2 person on the domain can access the
folder.other person don't see that particular folder.

Any help would be greately appreciated.

why not hide the folder.. put a $dollar sign at the end of the name of the shared folder.. like>> newfolder$ this will hide the shared folder.. on the network...

if you want to access it through explorer you type the path name plus the folder name with the dollar sign...

if you want two persons to access only at the same time.. then limit the number of persons to 2.. i believe there is an option in win2k3 to do this...

Right click the folder
Go into properties

Go into sharing -> security

And set it so the Everyone group has nothing (not list or read or anything). Give the two users whatever they need

Right click the folder and do properties

Go to the sharing tab

Click where it says Permissions, and you can set permissions for users.
E.g give the admin group, and your two users the required permissions, and then deny all permissions to the Everyone group

Important: Make sure you do sharing -> permissions not just the security tab, un;ess you want it to affect local users too.

You need to do it when logged onto the server itself

You are trying to do it from another computer

and stop uploading zipped word documents, just save the image and upload that

You arent doing it on the actual server!!!

You need to be physically sitting at the server

You are accessing the server remotely, because it says \\FILESERVER. Dont use network neighbourhodd, physically go and sit at the server, logonto it and find the directory using my computer
