    Passwording a Network place

    hey guys, setup my home network which includes

    windows xp sp2 profestional setups on 3 desktop pcs
    and one mac osx laptop

    i was just wondering is there anyway to password the desktop pcs? e.g. instead of just double clicking on a network place would have to enter a password befroehand...


    also anyway of creating your own ftp?

    When you right click on a shared directory, go to the permissions tab. From there, you can set who can access the directory - I think you can make sure from that tab that you require a password.
