WHS folder redirection?? Or something easier?

[bobn4burton]

I posted this exact thread in the OS forum. But didn't get a ton of response...it was suggested I try here...

Hopefully this is an easy question. Ultimately I need to figure out a way to add subfolders to the remote console for certain remote users.

For instance, let's say I have a share on my WHS that is called 'Apps'. I have all my applications stored in this folder (subfolder for each app). I make this 'Apps' share available for MY remote user with full access...no problems here.

Well...what if I wanted only certain subfolders of my 'Apps' share available to other remote users? So let's say I had five subfolders in my 'Apps' share that I wanted to make available to a friend via remote access. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I can only add parent shares under my friends remote user properties... Is there a way I could make a folder inside my friends user share that would actually point to a subfolder in the 'Apps' share?

Long story short, I want my whole 'Apps' share available to me as a remote user when I log in. I want a subfolder or two available to my friend when he logs in remotely. What is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any help...

I don't believe you can accomplish the scenario you posted above with WHS. You would have to create a separate share for the subfolder available to everyone and restrict access to the main share to only you.

I think 2 parent folders would be the easiest way of doing this, something like:

\\Apps
\\Apps - shared
