How can I create a share on another machine over the network?

A. A. From a Windows NT Server machine a share can be createdby opening Server Manager, highlight the target system, select Computer, SharedDirectories, and click on New Share.

The Windows NT Resource kit comes with a utility called RMTSHARE.EXEand this can be used to create shares on other machines providing youhave sufficient privilege. The basic syntax is as follows

rmtshare \""="" /remark=""
e.g. rmtshare \savillmainmiscfiles=d:filesmisc/remark="General files"

You only need to use double quotes around the share to be created and thepath if there are spaces in the share/file name, e.g. if the share was to becalled misc files instead of miscfiles it would have to be in quotes, e.g.

rmtshare \savillmain"misc files"="d:my filesmisc"/remark="With space share"

There is also a wizard to share and administer your NT server c:%systemroot%system32wizmgr.exe.

Remember share names cannot contain the " / [ ] : | < > + ; , ?* = characters.
