Access to share folders in workgroup
I'd like to have access by target PC with  another name and password than on destination PC. But I can't get access to it, if I use another account name, than there is on destination PC. I have to make new account with the same name and password as on destination PC.

Hi,

I suggest you check the sharing and securty permissons of the folder on the target machine, make sure that the acocunt has permissions to access to the shared file, you can refer to the following guide

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/share-files-with-someone#1TC=windows-7

(the guide is similiar to Windows 8\8.1)

I couldn't find anything to help me in this guide. I can't access to the share from another PC using by account with  name and password there aren't on destination PC.
I couldn't add account from network computer to share permissions

For instance: the destination PC name  is  hst1 It has the share folder.
The target PC name is hst2. It has account name user2, but hst1 hasn't account with name user2.  How can I give access user2 to share folder

  The guide looks pretty comprehensive to me. I could see several options which I believe would work.

  Did you try the Public Folders approach? This has never failed for me. The other methods also work but you have to be aware of what you are doing. Public Folders just works.

Hi,

Are the two PCs in a homegroup, workgroup or a domain? Try to type "everyone" as the name, check the name, give full control permissions.

I'm awfully sorry, I have everyday business routine, so I can't check out this task. See you later, as I had promised before
