We have a simple network with only 2 computers (Vista 32bit Home Premium). We want to share some folders on one of the machines with only one user on another of the machines. At the moment I have the relevant data in the Public folders but this can be changed if need be.
However when I try to add permissions to the folder, I can only apply permissions to the users on the machine the folder is on, not to the users on the other machine. The Location field in the permission dialog box only shows the machine that the folder is on.
Essentially what we have is
Machine1: Users - Wife and 5yo son
Machine2: Users - Me and 5yo son (same son)
Machine 1 has some shared documents in the public folder. I have been able to restrict access to the Public folder from my son's account on Machine 1. But from his account on Machine 2 he can access Machine 1 and then the folders in question.
He's just discovered the joys of clicking everything and we are afraid he might damage or delete some files by mistake.
How can I apply permissions to an individual user on a networked machine other than the one the folder is on?
Thanks!
