Filesharing between XP Home and Pro

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to fileshare between XP Home and Pro without using Simple File Sharing? I know home doesn't allow signing on domain so thats out.

Not recommended, enable guest account.

 

Better, create a local account on the Pro machine so the home can access.

You can share any file and set permissions to everyone, if you don't mind everyone having access

 

Or you can setup local account on either machine, then when you share the object you set the permissions accordingly

I am still not sure that I completely understand. I know very little about networking in windows.

Are you saying that I have a seperate account on each machine that I log on with using the other?

Creat an account on both machines, call it Bob (as an example). Make sure the passwords match and you should then be able to share files back and forth, as long as the file you are trying to reach is a "shared" file.
