Hey! I have a problem sharing folders on a computer on a network.

It turns out that when sharing "All" the folder is accessible on the network, and on other computers, without the obvious need for authentication.

However, if I restrict access to the folder to a specific user registered on the PC that is sharing, I cannot authenticate when mapping the folder.

Can you shed some light on what might be missing me?

Hello! I'm Manoel Barros!

There may be some configuration missing. Check the sharing settings for the Folder, Server, and Terminal. See the steps below:

01 - Server

1. Right-click on the Internet icon > Network and Internet Settings.
2. Click on Properties > Mark the Network Profile as Private.
3. Go back to the Network Settings > Click on Network and Sharing Center > Change Advanced Sharing Settings (left tab).

• In Private, check the "Turn on network discovery" option and check the option below.
• In File and Printer Sharing, check the "Turn on file and private sharing" option.
• Expand All Networks > Check "Turn on password protected sharing".

4. If the User does not have a password, add a password to the user whose access to the folder you have restricted.

02 - Shared Folder

1. Open the Shared Folder Properties > Click Sharing > Advanced Sharing... > Permissions > Add > Advanced > Find now > Search for the user name > Select the user > Click OK.
2. Select the user and check Full Control > Click OK.
3. You will do this procedure in Security if you have not done so already.

03 - Terminal

1. Right-click on the Internet icon > Network and Internet Settings.
2. Click on Properties > Mark the Network Profile as Private.
3. Press Windows + R > Type "control keymgr.dll" (without quotes) > Click on Windows Credentials > Add a Windows Credential.
4. Fill in the Address, Username and Password fields > Save > Try mapping the folder.
