Facing file sharing issue over network in windows 10 1803

Try this:


Net Share "Files"="D:\Files" /grant:everyone,Full /UNLIMITED /Cache:Automatic

"Files" = Share name
"D:\Files" = Folder Location

 

You need to configure your Network properly! Start with that on your Router, give the computer('s) which will have shared content fixed IP's first. Set the drive or the folders which will have the shared content to be accessible by user('s) or even to anybody by assigning the needed permissions. Allow the access to that shared content/Drive via the Firewall as well. That is needed in Windows 10.

 

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

Sharing, whatever kind of File-/Data-Sharing is used, is simply part of the Network Configuration!

And the Network Configuration works closely with the Security Configuration as well.

If you have some Firewall App running on your machines which having shared content, that also need to be configured properly as well. Windows automatically setup a Firewall while being installed too. You could disable the Windows Firewall and not use any other alike App, it is just dangerous not to use those. But that's simply up to the User and/or Owner of the used Devices.

And I would never use shared data on any of my machines without security protection and that includes Usernames and Passwords for anyone who would get access. All of that is under the roof of Network Configuration.

 

Allowing or blocking some connection to any of your machines, you could use the Mac Addresses of those others to either allow or deny the access.

I didn't tell to off the Firewall, I told to configure correctly! You need to allow or deny access from sudden devices in the firewalls config, separately in each of the computers you're allowing to use Data from. That config differs from App to App. You'll have to check the appropriate way for the App you're using.

 

If you want to use admin shares like /d$/, you have to disable UAC remote restrictions since Windows 7. That‘s what is happening here most likely.

Try this:

• add the user you‘re trying to connect with to group administrators
• create a new .reg file with this content:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
"LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy"=dword:00000001

• run that file and import the registry setting
• reboot

That should work

 

Well, in that case make sure user James is an administrator on your Win10 machine. This is already the case for the default user.

If James is not the default user and you need to change it from standard to admin user, then there's different ways to do this:

Easiest way:

• Win+I (settings app) -> Accounts -> Family (and other people)
• click on user "James" -> Change account type
• choose "Administrator"

The old fashioned way:

• right click start menu -> Computer management
• System tools -> Local Users and Groups -> Users
• double click "James" -> Member of
• Add -> Advanced -> Find Now
• double click "Adminstrators" -> OK -> OK

Both ways James is now a member of the administrators group.

Also make sure you have enabled "password protected sharing" or you won't get a dialog to login with a different user. You can change this here:

• right click network icon in systray area (bottom right)
• "Open Network & Internet settings" -> Sharing options
• "All networks" -> "Password protected sharing" -> "Turn on password protected sharing"
• Save changes

Give it a try, should work

 

Don't know about WinXP. I would try 128-bit first. In case it's not working you could lower that to 40-bit, but I wouldn't recommend that.

 

Glad I could help. You're welcome
