• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Privately sharing a folder?

You can set the permissions on the share to only allow specific users, specific types of users, or users in a specific group.

Lets say you have a share on CompA. You set the permission on the share so only the user of compB can access it.

On compA you would have to add an account to the users/groups with the same login and password used on compB.

If permissions are set up properly hten only the user on CompB can access the share.
 
Another way to share a folder privately without having to change around permissions is to put a dollar sign after the folder name

ie: //Richard/Music$

People can go to //Richard and Music will not show as a shared folder. Works in Server 2003 and believe in XP too.

Security through obscurity isn't really security at all. The $ will hide it from activly showing the share, but it in no way secures it.

NTFS permissions are the way to go if possible.

 
Never said it was secure, just makes it easier for the average user.
