Return to Overview

If you are using Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Home Edition, use simple file sharing to set shared folders without access control applied.


Remark
  • If you are using Windows XP Professional and simple file sharing is disabled, follow the procedures below to enable it.
  • On the [Start] menu, select [Control Panel], and then select [Folder Options] to open the [Folder Options] dialog box.
  • Select the [View] tab.
  • Under [Advanced settings], select the [Use simple file sharing (Recommended)] check box.
  • Click [OK] to close the [Folder Options] dialog box.
  1. Create a new folder in any drive.

Creating the folder in the place where users can find it easily, such as the first level in C drive, is recommended.

Ex) C:\share

  1. Right-click the created folder.
  1. Select [Sharing and Security...] to open the [<Folder name> Properties] dialog box.

  1. Click [If you understand the security risks but want to share files without running the wizard, click here.].

  • This message is not displayed at the second time or later. In such case, proceed to Step 6.
  1. In the [Public folder sharing] dialog box, select the [Just enable file sharing] check box, and then click [OK].

  1. Select the [Share this folder on the network] and [Allow network users to change my files] check boxes.

  1. Click [OK] to close the [<Folder name> Properties] dialog box.
  1. Set a destination address using the display.
[Computer name]: swan
[Share Name]: share
  • The machine's destination settings:
<NAME>: The destination's name
The server protocol: <Windows (SMB)>
<HOST NAME>: \\swan (Double backslash "\\" can be omitted)
Computer name confirmed in step 5 in "Confirming Computer Name (Windows XP)"
<FILE PATH>: \share
Folder name created in step 1
<LOGIN NAME>: Leave this box blank.
<PASSWORD>: Leave this box blank.
  • If you use <Windows (SMB): Browse> to specify each item, Use that after the expiration of the time specified in "Setting Startup Time." (the default setting startup time is <60 seconds>)
  • A maximum of 120 alphanumeric characters can be entered for both <HOST NAME> and <FILE PATH> on the display.
  • If you switch the language of the display, <HOST NAME> and <FILE PATH> may not be displayed correctly.
  • If the language of the display differs from the computer on your network, <HOST NAME> and <FILE PATH> may not be displayed correctly, or you may not be able to browse the directories.
  • For instructions on how to specify destination address settings, see "Registering Destinations in the Address Book (imageRUNNER 1025iF Only)."
