[QUOTE="wezman2k, post: 716408, member: 32519"] Hey guys, I've been having a bit of trouble with this. I want to be able to share folders between the computers in my house. 2 macbooks and 1 windows laptop. right now i'm mainly concerned with the 2 macbooks. I've enabled file sharing on both computers, and in the finder I am able to see the other computer. However, I've specified certain files on my operating system to be shared over the network but they're not showing up in the "Public folder" even after I set them as shared. It seems as though if I want the other computer to have access I have to actually move the folder in question into the public folder in order for others to see and have access to it. I don't like that. Is there any way I can make this more similar to windows in that I can just set a specified folder to be shared and then it will be available to all others on the network? Thanks for reading, and thanks for you help. [/QUOTE]
