As such, this topic will be covered in detail in this chapter. The first step in learning to use the net share command is to gain a basic understanding of the command line syntax of the tool. In basic terms, the syntax for net share is as follows:. As illustrated above, many of the tasks which can be performed using the graphical tools can also be performed using the command line. In the remainder of this chapter, some of the more common sharing tasks using net share will be covered.
Note that to perform any tasks other than viewing the current shares, the command-prompt must be running with administrator privileges. Standard file sharing, which is only permitted on NTFS volumes, allows individual folders, files and volumes to be shared to specific users. This provides far greater levels of security over network access through a combination of NTFS file and folder permissions and share permissions , and avoids the necessity to move files from their existing location in order to share them.
Once invoked, the Network and Sharing Center will list the current file sharing configuration and options as illustrated in the following figure:. To enable public file sharing, begin by clicking on the Change advanced sharing settings link located near the top left hand corner of the dialog.
This will display the Advanced sharing settings screen as illustrated in the following figure:. For each network environment in which the system operates a different profile is created by Windows Server R2. This is a feature that is primarily of use in Windows versions that are more frequently used on laptops such as Windows 7.
Regardless, this feature is still present in Windows Server R2. Once the settings for the required profile are unfolded, the various settings are displayed and made available for modification. These settings are as follows:. Shared folders can be configured using Windows Explorer, simply by navigating to the folder to be shared, right clicking on the folder and selecting Properties from the menu. In the properties dialog, click on the Sharing tab to display and modify the current shared folder settings as illustrated in the following figure:.
Within the sharing property panel, click on the Share Within this dialog, the users who may access this shared folder are specified. If file sharing has been restricted to users with local accounts and passwords, a list of users can be obtained by clicking on the down arrow. In this situation, select and add users, or select Everyone if access is to be made available to all users with local accounts:. Once these settings are complete, click on the Share button to initiate the file sharing process.
Once this initial phase of the share setup is complete a dialog will appear announcing this fact, listing the full Universal Naming Convention UNC path to the shared folder and providing the option to email users to notify them of this fact:. Having specified which users will have access to the folder the next step is to enable the sharing of the folder, specify share permissions and configure a Share Name by which the folder will be referenced and accessed. In addition caching of shared files can be configured.
Caching allows users to maintain local copies of shared files so that they can be accessed off-line for example when the server hosting the files is not available to the user's local system. With caching configured, local copies of shared files are stored on the user's local system so that they can be accessed without a connection to the server. When a connection is re-established, any changes made to the local copy of the file are synchronized with the original copy on the server.
If you choose this option, the server does not monitor or maintain your domain name, and it does not alert you if there is a configuration issue. You might also consider this option if any of the following is true:. You have an existing domain name from a domain name provider that is not currently a partner, and you do not want to transfer that domain name to a Windows Server Essentials supported domain name provider. The wizard does not list the domain name extension that you want to use, but the extension is available from a domain name provider that is not currently a partner.
If you choose to set up your domain name manually, work with your domain name service provider to create an A Record for your domain. Decide on a host name, such as remote. This is the domain name prefix. In your domain name service providers configuration dashboard usually on their webpage , create the A record for the host name that you decided on in Step 1.
If you do not have the option to obtain a static IP address from your ISP, you might also consider purchasing the Domain Name System DNS dynamic update protocol service from your domain name service provider or another service provider. Import a trusted certificate when the wizard prompts you. If you do not have a trusted certificate, you can obtain one from one of the supported domain name providers listed in the wizard or purchase one from the trusted provider of your choice.
For more information about a trusted certificate, contact your domain name provider. Open a web browser, and then type www. In the search results, the name of your domain name service provider is listed under Registrar.
