In tip 3360, I described how to remotely share a resource in any Windows NT-based operating system.

Microsoft has placed the RMTShare.exe program on their FTP site at ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/winnt/winnt-public/reskit/nt40/i386/RMTSHAR.EXE.

After downloading RMTSHAR.EXE, double-click it to extract the Readme.txt and Rmtshare.exe files. Copy Rmtshare.exe to a folder in your path.

NOTE: The RMTSHARE syntax is:

RMTSHARE  \server          \serversharename          \serversharename=drive:path [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]                               [/REMARK:"text"]                               [/GRANT [user[:perm][ /GRANT user[:perm]]]]                               [/REMOVE user]          \serversharename=printername /PRINTER [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]                               [/REMARK:"text"]                               [/GRANT [user[:perm][ /GRANT user[:perm]]]]                               [/REMOVE user]          \serversharename [/USERS:number | /UNLIMITED]                               [/REMARK:"text"]                               [/GRANT [user[:perm][ /GRANT user[:perm]]]]                               [/REMOVE user]          \serversharename /DELETENOTE: If a sharename or path contains spaces, it should be enclosed in quotes:            \server"with space"="c:with space"
