[QUOTE="curiouslearn, post: 749055, member: 70039"] I have few questions about file sharing between two Macs. I have two computers connected to the same router at home. If I add a folder to shared folders list and allow access to "everyone" then I see the shared folder on the other computer and can browse it. If I choose "No access" to "Everyone" then I do not see the shared folder on the other computer. My problem is that if I allow access to "Everyone", then when I take the computer to my school, it will allow many other people access to those shared folders, which I don't want. My question is: How do I restrict access to specific users, say only myself? Can I set it up such that they need to enter Password before they get the access? Also, in the users list I see 3 categories MyName Users Everyone Since, MyName is already present in the users list, do I need to add a new user if only I need to access the computer. Thanks very much. [/QUOTE]
