How share a folder with just one PC in the LAN?

[NeHoMaR]

Everytime I try to share a folder in the LAN, it lets me share it to EVERYONE in the LAN, or to users in the same PC (not in the LAN).

I don't see any way to, for example, share a folder with computer 1 and 2, and not with computer 3 and 4, and let the computer 1 change the files, but not the computer 2, and so on.

Add users to your computer with the same username and password as what they have on their machines. Use share permissions and only let those users connect to the share and delete anyone else that you don't want to have access to that.

best way to do both of these are through control panels -> Administrator tools -> Computer Management.

I will try some things and post later, but I am having a problem:

.. and I created, as you say, in one computer, the same name and password imagining it will have access, but not. That computer wasn't able to even see the folder. The name was exactly the same, the password too.

Anyway, if this works in that way you say, that means anyone could just create, even "by chance", an username and password same as you allowed, and access a private folder? this really look like an exploit.

How is having the correct username and password required to access a share an "exploit"???

In a big LAN, I think is very possible to someone make the same user/pass and access the folder, just by coincidence. And security shouldn't be compromised by coincidences, maybe?

That is still not an exploit, and the odds of 2 users have the exact same user name and password by coincidence are how high? If the user uses a generic type password, ie Password1 -- then they would deserve to allow users to access there files by someone guessing the password.

Use a remote access application that features File Transfers like TeamViewer.

^ your freaking kidding right..?? Thats just asinine to suggest someone use something like teamviewer to transfer files between machines on the same network.. why doesn't he just email himself the files ;)
