I have the following situation:
- Main PC
- Home Server PC (for media files and backup purpose)
- HTPC PC (in the living room)
- Synology NAS
- 2nd PC (for just in case)
- 3th PC for backup files
I want to share the files on the Home Server PC for just ONLY my own (main) PC and the HTPC (read only). If I click on a map on the Home Server PC and click on Share then it's not entirely clear to me how to share with only my main pc. The only workaround is that I share the stuff with "Everyone", and in Network Settings I turn off password required. The thing is, I just to be able to click a direct link from my main pc to a specific shared map on the Home Server (for example the Backup map), without filling in a password. If I want to share a map it gives me the option off:
- Guest
- HomeServer PC (that's the same pc, so not needed)
- Everyone
- Create a new user
The last option brings me to "user accounts", but this is not what I want. I don't want to create another user on the homeserver, I just want to share the map with only one pc, my own main pc, so no others can access that map, because it is set to "everyone". In theory if somebody is funny and has access to my computer, and luckily I don't have a family in this case, then your kid (in theory) could just delete everything, because "I" want to have access to this map to do everything. Copy files to it, delete them etc. Can somebody explain me, in steps, how I share one map on a Windows 10 machine to another Windows 10 machine. My main pc has the 'name', also "Snowwie", being an administrator.
