In Network and Sharing / Sharing options/ change advanced sharing/
Turn on network discovery/ turn on file and printer sharing/ turn on sharing so anyone with network access can read and write to public folders/ turn off password
Public folders now free to browse etc.
Other directories are easy to set up also right click share with advanced sharing and set up permissions whether you want to allow read or read and write its upto you
