Sharing specific files on XP network
 

is it possible? I dont want to share entire folders, just certain files on a disc.
Thx

well you could alter the security on them, but it would be better to share a folder and just put the files you want to share in it.

how do you mean by secuirty on them?

It would be easier to share an entire folder, or in case of a specific files on a dvd, to move them onto the computer then share that folder, but its just an extra step thats unnecessary and inconvenient if theres a way possible and hard drive is limited on space.

Question: what if i set up my desktop as a FTP server, networked it to another computer (client) and then gave permissions to different users on the network ? would that work... or would it have to access the ftp server through a non-network IP address.

I'm not sure I even understand the question.

What are you actually trying to achieve ?
