What’s In

File Sharing is sharing of or offering access to digital information or

resources, including documents, multimedia (audio/video), graphics,
computer programs, images and e-books. It is the private or public
 distribution of data or resources in a network with different levels of
sharing privileges

What’s New

You have already leraned from the past lesson about computer
network and security. Now you are going to learn how to share files
using a computer and a printer.
File sharing can be done using several methods. The most
common method techniques include the following:
 Removable storage devices
 Centralized file hosting server installations on networks
 World Wide Web-oriented hyperlinked documents
Distributed peer-to-peer networks

What Is It

Sharing Resources and Accessing Shared Resources

1) Open My Computer, double-click the C: drive, and create a new
folder on the C: drive. Name it Shared. Right-click the Shared folder
and select Properties.
2) In the Shared Properties dialog box, select the Sharing tab.
3) Notice that the Select the Share This Folder button.

desktop. Select Properties.
6) Right-click your connection (look for a name like Local Area
 Connection) and again select Properties.
7) In your Local Area Connection Properties dialog box, select File and
Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks and click OK. If you don’t see an
option for File and Print Sharing, click Install and select a service and
then click Add. Now select the File and Print Sharing option.
8) Open My Network Places- double-click the icon- and select the Entire

main (right-hand) pane, you should see one or more options.
Double-click the Microsoft Windows Network icon.
9) You’re now at the main network screen, where you should see
what’s called a workgroup. A workgroup is a basic group of
computers connected to the same Ethernet network. Double-click
the workgroup to see all the computers connected to your Ethernet
network.

Printer Sharing

One of the primary reasons that networks were developed was to

allow groups of computer users to share peripheral devices such as
printer. Sharing a single printer among a group of users costs much less
than buying a printer for each computer.

Setting up printer sharing is simple with Windows XP. The following

steps enable a computer to share a printer:

Step 1. Choose Start > Printers and Faxes.

Step 2. Right-click the printer, and choose
Properties. Step 3. Click the Sharing tab.
Step 4. Click the Share this printer radio button
Step 5. Keep or change the share
name. Step 6. Click Apply.
All the computers that use the shared printer must have the correct
drivers installed. Drivers for other operating systems can be installed on
the print server. To connect to the printer from another computer on the
network, choose Start > Printers and Faxes > Add Printer. The Add Printer
Wizard appears. Follow the steps using the wizard
