how to manage directories

Post by Remco »

Hi,
I have the following issue:
I've placed several movies in a seperate directory on my harddisk. I don't want every pc in my house to have access to those movies.
I know how to set restricted access, but that means that i have to include every mac-adress (IP won't work because dynamic DHCP) in my house and exclude every-one but my pc to have access.


Is there a way to reverse this process e.q.:

I make the directory hidden for everyone, and GRANT access to some-pc's.

ps: it is a super program! keep up the good work!

When you define only access to your computer, you deny access to all other devices.

Remark: access is defined for an element of navigation, ie if access is defined in the directory, the files of this directory can be accessed in other elements of navigation. If you define access to files, then the restriction applies to all elemens navigation, which is included in this file.
