On my windows PC, if you share a folder and its public people on your network can just go in and have a look. If I turn file sharing on and windows sharing on for my mac, my PC cannot do the same without needing a password and thus getting total acess to my home account. Is there anyway to share a folder over the network and make it publicly accessible to a windows computer?

Not a bad program at all but is there any way to do this natively? Basically I want anonymous access (read only) to my public folder over the network in windows. Is this possible?
