[QUOTE="adam6969, post: 265491"] Hello, I thought I would post this here first because I am very new to mac. What I want to do: be logged in as me share a folder over the network (I can't seem to specify a specific folder) have people access the folder using a user/pass other than mine. The problem I'm getting: I can only seem to share the "shared" folder I am used to being able to share folders with samba in linux, but it doesn't seem to work here. when people log on with a different user/pass they can't see the folder's that I want to share. Now it seems really hard to share a folder, which should be really simple with an os that has the power of freebsd behind it. It's something that I've taken for granted I guess when using windows and linux. Thanks for your help Adam [/QUOTE]
